Volcanos and the Temple

This week was way interesting, definitely a first for the mission.

This past week the Volcano Turrialba erupted. The ash from the volcano was blown all the way to where we are here in Guadelupe de San Jose, about 57 kilometers away. It's been shooting out ash for about a week now and we've been working with construction/dust masks to protect from all the ash. Here are some cool pics and videos that we took:
 
This basketball court is usually as green as the backboard.

This is what our streets/roof usually look like (after it rained)

This upcoming weekend we will be having General Conference, which happens 2 times a year. One of our mission traditions is that every time we have a conference, we all go to the Temple as a mission (different zones on different days of course). Today we all loaded up into a mini-bus that we rented as a zone and headed to the temple. It was a perfect day with perfect weather for a temple trip. Here's some pics of today as well:
 
 




El Carmen is doing great. Same old people in the process and not wanting to come to church, but lots of hope for the conference this weekend. Love you all and hope it's a great week!

Keep On Keepin' On...
