I had the same headache this morning that I went to bed with last night so I didn't go to the gym today. In fact I went back to bed for an extra few minutes. I got dressed and went to the clinic and when I did Dennis said would I help him. Evidently we had some problem with the Costco pizza the missionaries ate for dinner last night. They have been getting pizza every Tuesday night forever but there must have been a bad one in the bunch because about 6 or 8 elders and sisters had violent throwing up and diarrhea last night all starting at about 9:30 or 10:30. Dennis and I got in the golf cart and made house calls to these missionaries. They are out today but hopefully with be able to go back to class tomorrow.
We also had 50 missionaries from the states come in today. As with last week and the week before it poured down just as they were to arrive. Each group was delayed. The ones that were to come at 3:30 came much later with the 5:30 group that actually came at 6:30. They first sent them over to the comodor to eat because it was closing soon and then they came back for the orientation. At 7:15 or so 8 more elders came. One missed his flight and will come tomorrow morning. They served the 8 late missionaries cold hamburgers with no catsup or mayo and cold fries. I found some drinks, apples and a snack bar for them but they got a little short changed coming in so late.
Dennis made a late trip over to the hospital to see the elder who is having the problem with appendicitis. He had the abscess drained today and has been in the hospital now for 3 days. Dennis may get home late. Well Dennis just came home and said he was in the worst traffic jam of his life. Even the Mexican driver said his one goal in life was to survive this drive to the hospital without an accident. Total gridlock!
Elder Kesling better now and out in the field
It probably would not have been so busy today but doctor Gill also had food poisoning. He and Sister Gill ate out at a restaurant yesterday when they were coming home from the clinic at the temple. I had to give the first day welcome presentation today for the first time. Now I have given it three times and hopefully I will do better in the future.
Elders who volunteered to carry in the luggage of the buses in the pouring rain. At least they had rain ponchos this week. It also rained the last two weeks on Wednesday when the North American missionaries came in. July is the wettest month. It is beautiful in the morning and during the day but the rain comes in the late afternoon.
