New Address for Elder Bulloch

Well, we sent Ryan a package last week with the new Spanish Bible he requested, the only trouble is - the mission office has moved and he didn't tell us! I was tracking the package through FedEx and saw that the business had closed or moved.

So - after I had a little meltdown, I got the new address and forwarded it to FedEx. I am really hoping that they forward his package instead of returning it back here.

Here is the new address: (I also fixed it on the right side of the blog)

Elder Ryan Bulloch
Uruguay Montevideo Mission
Dalmiro Costa 4635 Bis
Malvin, Montevideo
Uruguay 11400


This address is only for packages and letters in an envelope. The pouch address is the same for single sheet letters.

I'll let you know what happens with the package!

Mission Presidency

This week we had the wonderful opportunity to go to dinner with the Parra's and the Torres'. President Parra and President Torres are the counselor's in the mission presidency. We went to La Vid Argentina for dinner last Tuesday night. It was probably the last time we'll get together with them. Both counselor's have served for about 5 years, and have done a wonderful job. President and Sister Parra - 1st Counselor

President and Sister Torres - 2nd Counselor

We had a really nice time together and a wonderful meal. They have been so kind and supportive and have done a wonderful job. We'll miss them a lot.

We went to dinner at about 6 pm - There were hardly any people there, most everyone eats quite a bit later than that. We've loved going to lunch and dinner at the "off hours" - everyone eats their lunch from about 2 pm to 3:30 pm, and dinner is usually not until about 7 or 8 pm.
It's worked out great for us! :)

New Score Card

So here are the latest statistics on the uninvited "guests"

we've had in the the mission home in the past three years:

7 lizards

4 mice

2 birds

I hope there are no more in the next 8 weeks.

Someone please tell me there won't be anymore!

Pictures from Uruguay

We received some pictures from Ryan this week. They were in a format that was a little hard for me to open, but I finally figured out how to convert them into a format that the blog will accept. Here they are: This is the baptism of a man named Guillermo

These are some missionaries that Ryan was with in the MTC in Argentina. Elder Solano is from Veracruz, Mexico and Elder Gonzalez is from Chile.

This is a recent picture with President and Sis. Da Silva and also Ryan's new companion, Elder Izaguirre from Texas.

It's great to see how happy he looks, we know he is loving his mission and working hard.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I hope you have a great birthday today, Dad. I've enjoyed sharing the day with you for 49 years! Happy Cinco de Mayo too! I love you!

P.S. Blaine, I hope you don't mind that I copied this picture from your blog - my pictures are all frozen in time in the hard drive of our dead computer. Hopefully I can retrieve them when we get back :)
