4/8/2012

   Easter Sunday!  What a special day here.  Our American neighbors, the Ottersons, have three children here while he is going to school and they do not have a car.  He came last night to see if we could give them a ride to church today so we changed our plans and went to the same ward we went to last Sunday.It is a good ward for me because they have an English Sunday School class.  This ward also has an English and a Spanish speaking Primary.  It is fun to see how the kids all interact.  The woman who gave the RS lesson talked on  honoring the church leaders and went into how her brother is the stake president here.  Their mother died when she was 12 and she raised her little brother.  She knew he was special.  It was just a sweet story that I actually understood by heart if not by language!  The Bishop decided he wanted the women to make the sacrament bread so they were signing up for 1  that.
   Brother and Sister Bair had an Easter Dinner and program at their home later today.  Brother Bair told of how he had wondered if Christ had ever been in the Santa Domingo temple and how he received the answer that He had indeed been in  the temple here.  It was a very spiritual meeting with about 20 couples,
  As we walked out of our apartment door with the salad we have made for the dinner, I locked the door from the inside and asked Scott if he had the keys.  Well he thought he did have until we got to the car and he looked in his pocket to find the phone instead of the keys.  So here we are in our parking lot with this great big bowl of salad and can't get in our apartment or the car.  All of the phone numbers we needed were in the apartment. We did have one couples number on our "pretty much worthless" phone so they came from the dinner to get us.  We came home with the Yturaldes who live in our building and he found our landlords number on the Internet.  Eckbert, the landlord, said his mother had a key and he would be here in 35 minutes.  About two hours later he finally showed up - but we were so grateful to be able to get into our apartment.  We hadn't even thought of making another key!
