We had a mission Easter conference on Tuesday and went to Old San Juan. We went to a place called the San Cristóbol fort. It's a fortress they built forever ago that's right on the coast. It was the first time I'd seen the ocean on my mission. They had a cultural presentation there where they showed some of the typical dances from different parts of Puerto Rico. That was a lot of fun, especially seeing all the elders I was with in Caguas that have all gone to different places now. I am one of the only ones in the Caguas zone that was here when I started. I forgot to bring my camera though, but I'm going to get some pictures from the other elders.
Other than that, the week has been pretty normal. The elders in Humacao found Edgardo and Givendolee, and they went to church there. It sounds like they're going to fit in really well with the ward there, and the ward has been volunteering to help them out. They have an apartment but not much else and Edgardo lost his job. So they've already talked to the ward employment specialist and people have volunteered furniture and things that they'll need. I'm really excited about that, I was worried that them moving would hinder their progress but they're doing well. We haven't seen Manuel and Keila since our last lesson on Sunday. We had one scheduled yesterday but it was cancelled. We were going to follow up on their commitment to keep the Sabbath day holy and come to church but they didn't come.
Well, I don't have a lot of time to email today, but I'm going to try to get some pictures to send. I love you, and I'm glad everything is going well. Tell Jim congratulations.
Elder Duclos
