Had just finished writing this morning when I received an email about Sherie passing away. Like so many others, I just can't imagine life without Sheri. But I do know that she is delighted to be able to move again, to help somebody again - though leaving her beloved husband and family must have been so very difficult. It has been a sad, sad time.
The Ickbushes (East Mission office couple stopped by too bring us some measuring cups. Of course I looked like someone who had been crying all day - which I had been. Sister Ickbush was such comfort to me. We have a keyboard that plays all kinds of music so Elder Eickbush and Scott got that going. It certainly lifted our spirits. My heart is really heavy though.
They have a Pricemart (Sams Club) here and they have so many American groceries that it almost feels like home.
Got to wear pants today for the first time in three weeks -sure felt good! We only have hot water in the bathroom. You get up and flip the water heater on and wait half and hour then you have hot water for ten minutes - in the shower only. No place else in the apartment has hot water. However, today we haven't had any water a all.
We sleep with the window open and there are no screens on the windows. It makes me a little uncomfortable, even though we are four floors up, remembering the years we had no screens on our windows at home - as a result we had bats, rats, cats, snakes, and birds in our house..
Scott got back from the priesthood leadership meeting where a member of the quorum of seventies from Haiti spoke in Creole with a Spanish translator - he said that was fairly difficult to keep straight! It is difficult to set through hours of church meetings where you don't understand what is being said.
Don't know what is going on outside but it is after 11:00 pm and these big trucks that are decorated like floats in a parade are going by with this deafening music and flashing red, blue, and white flashing lights.
