They have Black Friday sales here!
Service day number 2 was interesting. Tony and Josie went with an elder and another pioneer sister to an island to search out English speakers. We hopped on the ferry and after the short ride across the canal we were on foot again. The island is called Isla Cocal and it is the ghetto. They do have running water and electricity but other than that they are pretty much ignored by the municipalities. We didn't really get any pics of the little neighborhood itself but believe me, it's not a pretty sight.

The territories here are a pretty big undertaking because they have few, if any, road names or addresses. Even the houses don't stay the same color for much longer than a year because of the mold problems. They'll periodically wash and paint the houses. That being said, the friends here have to hand-draw the maps.
