Our window of opportunity to visit the famous place of Mistolar happened on October 29& 30. We had to wait for good weather conditions, enough daylight and to have the vehicles that could transport the nine of us into this community. Not only did we encounter bad roads but we struggled the last little way through dirt that was equal to powder in some places 2-3 feet deep. You do not want to stop in these areas or you may need to relocate in Mistolar yourself! I am pretty sure that this is not a typical situation in most missions but out of neccesity we had a camping trip for one night. All the Elders, President and Travis slept in the back of the trucks and ......on the hoods! The Hermanas slept in a small trailer with Hermana Evans.
We had the great opportunity to take clothes that had been donated through an Eagle project of Austin Herbst. The children and mothers were so grateful to have these! This set the stage for a great opportunity when the children came to our camp that night to teach and play "Duck, Duck, Goose" with them. They LOVED this game! They probably played with us for two hours and then left andwent to play in another part of the camp well after we went to bed.
