The problem in Mexico is that the building standards are, well, aren't. So, they put in an electrical outlet wherever they want and usually only one in a room. So, like the elders in Arrocera, the missionaries load them up so that they can run their little refrigerator, their two oscillating fans, the one-element hot plate and an electric razor.


That was not the problem for Elder Deal (from Texas) in Ciudad Isla. Nope. Sometimes, because of weird science and lulls of electrical power in the lines followed by unpredictable bursts of energy, things get a little hot. Good thing our missioanries all live in 100% cement houses.
