6 August 1999

Exactly seven months in the mission.

Today kind of sucked.  We went out searching for a CSP (Community Service Project), but couldn't find one.  Just as we were getting home, Sister Lopez walked up and told us that Pascual and Suzanna Honillas (two of the people who were supposed to get baptized tomorrow) were in the hospital in Naval.  Suzanna is nine months pregnant, and I guess she started having problems yesterday.  We went to the hospital and talked to them.  Apparently, the doctor says she needs a C-section.  And there's a chance that the baby is already dead.  I hope not.  That would be 0 out of 3 for them.  Anyway, this will all be very costly, and these are poor people.  We went to the president of Naval Branch (Almeria Group is part of that branch) and asked if the Church could help them in any way.  President Napoco said he would talk to them this evening.  I hope and pray that everything turns out.

We just got punted (missionary slang for stood up) and did a whole lot of nothing for the rest of the day.

Someone got a free ride on a jeepney today.  Elder Pfister said, "Free ride.  No fair!"  Then we laughed.  Get it?  (It was only funny because it was an unintentional pun.)
