A few days ago there was a delivery truck in the temple square parking lot. It was parked near the entrance to the MTC cafeteria. What struck me as very amusing, is that the logo on the back of the truck was maybe a warning, or an answer as to what happens to some missionaries. The word was LUNIBEN. I dont know what it means in Spanish, but if you sound it out, you will hear Looney Bin. Does this mean that the missionaries who dont make it are loaded into the back of this truck and delivered somewhere scarey? Is this a warning that we'd better be careful? Friday while we were waiting for our bus, the Luniben drove by. I dont know if they were making a delivery of lunis or going to get some. Anyway, they're not very private about it, nor are they very humanitarian, loading them into a box without windows or ventilation. We took a picture.
On another note, here is an observation: No matter how narrow or wide a space is, one or two or more people will occupy it equally. This makes it impossible to walk faster than the slowest walkers.
Are you in need of a little cash? Are you trying to finance college? Need a little more spending money? I know what you can do, and it isnt very hard. You have to be gutsy, though. Very often, when we are riding the bus, someone will bring on a box and a musical instrument. He then turns on some background music, and either plays his instrument or sings to us. When he is finished, or is approaching his stop, he will tell us we can give him a little change. I have tipped a clarinetist, a pan flutist, and a singer.
Stake Conference is tomorrow. We have to take a different bus to a different part of the city. I hope we find it, otherwise, we will have spent money for nothing but a long bus ride to nowhere, and a nice long walk in circles. We get to spend two hours listening for familiar words in the talks. Next conference should be a lot easier.
