There was some disappointment in today's P-Day.  First of all, there was no mail for me.  Then the APs said, "We have some news for you Elder MacKenzie.  The departure meeting will be October 10."  No problem, it would just require a slight change of plans.  "And we have some more news," they added.  "You aren't allowed to visit old areas before you leave."  Suck!  I was planning on visiting Guiuan and Almeria before I left.  Apparently, this has always been a church-wide rule, but PTM just didn't know about it until Elder Abrea came.  Also, Christmas Conference and Summer Fiesta aren't allowed.
