New Missionaries Arrive

Dennis is preparing for the new elders  who will arrive shortly.  He is clearing the mosquitoes out of the room with an electric racket shaped swatter that kills them instantly. We will then review their medical records for immunizations.  

Three bus loads of 76 sisters and elders came in on the direct flight from Salt Lake City.  Immediately after the buses arrived the heavens opened with torrential rain.  Dennis is soaked through to the skin.  Rain water was coming in under the closed doors. Two other missionaries came about a hour or so later.  They came in on other flights and so were the only other missionaries on their plane where as the flight from SLC had the 74 missionaries.  

Heavy rain poured down on the missionaries as they exited their buses.  

Most of the missionaries came in before they were completely wet.  Welcome to the rainy season of Mexico.  It will last until after the summer is over.  It is clear and even sunny in the morning and then in the afternoon the rain begins.  We waited this one out and by the time the missionaries had started the welcome orientation it stopped raining and they could go over to the comodor for dinner and even came back to finish the process without getting rained on again.
