This is one of our APs, Elder Thompson. His parents arrived this morning to see his areas in the mission and a little bit of Buenos Aires and to pick him up from his mission. Travel here has been very tricky because of the volcano in Chile. Our poor elders that were supposed to fly home on Monday are still here. We think that they will be better off in Chile, so a bus has been booked to Cordova and they will hopefully fly to Santiago from there and get a flight home. Crazy!
But the Thompsons also have a crazy story. They were supposed to fly in on Thursday, but their flight on Wednesday night got cancelled. They were re-booked for a flight Thursday night, which actually flew…all the way to Venezuela…before the pilot told them that they could not go into Buenos Aires and they turned around and went back to Atlanta!
They were re-booked for Friday night and the plane actually flew…all the way to…Santiago, Chile…because, surprise, surprise, they couldn’t get into Buenos Aires again. Delta, in case you are wondering because American Airlines temporarily cancelled all of their flights.
This morning these great parents were able to get into the city and we had a wonderful time getting to know them at lunch today.
