Elder Paco is Back in the Saddle Again!

Note: Elder Paco is the elder on the far right of each of these photos.
Elder Paco has been an Assistant to the President for a long time. (Something like 9 months!) He will be heading home in Februaray and President felt he should get back to work on the front lines. So the office staff and Elder Paco knew that he would be heading back to a regular area in our next transfer cycle. We wanted to honor him with a special dinner and so I asked him what he would like to eat. I assumed that he, being a filipino, would say adobo or panciet or some other local delicacy. Instead he said, "TACOS!" So we made tacos and Spanish Rice and a bean and cheese dip. We can find all the ingredients for this type of meal, but it isn't easy. We all had to be on the lookout and plan for several weeks so that when we were in one area of our mission with cheese, or tortillas we stopped and bought them.
He has been a good and faithful assistant and we will miss interacting with him on a daily basis. But he is excited to head to Santiago for the last couple of months left in his mission.
