Spent the morning studying. It has been cloudy here ever since it rained the other day so the heat has been more tolerable. When that sun comes out you can almost feel yourself getting burned it is so hot. It really does feel like we are closer to the sun than we are at home.
Scott had to teach the Spanish class for Elder Hammon today, which he ends up doing quite often. Some of the women want him to teach an elementary Spanish class so they can learn. Elder Hammon teaches on an intermediate level that none of us who have just been here a short time can grasp. It was so exciting last week for me to be able to understand him most of the time though!! There is so much to learn....
We had FHE at Sister Chantrill's tonight. She is from Wyoming and Montana. She is one of the temple workers and has an apartment in the Casa that has a big picture window looking right at the temple about 75 yards away. It is so beautiful! So her lesson was on temples. We went out and walked around the temple grounds then had a lesson on this temple and read the dedicatory prayer given by Pres. Hinkley. We climbed about three flights of stairs to get back to her apartment. When we sat down, Sister Glacier, who was sitting next to Scott, suddenly started to sag down in her seat and over onto Scott. He put his arm behind her to lift her back up - she had a horrible look on her face. Her husband, Pres. Glacier, kept calling her name and finally she became alert and sat up. So scary!!! She said that she has passed out two or three times since being here and has never been to the doctor to see about it. In my minds eye I could see Jamie slinking down to the floor when she used to pass out on me. Then she would tease me by pretending to pass out - I was just grateful she never hit her head on anything when she really fainted. I can still remember hearing something fall and saw her laying in the hallway out cold as if it were yesterday! We went to four or five different doctors and they never did find out why she passed out.
After that scary incident Sister Chantelle had ice cream and a red bean sauce for a treat. The bean sauce is a Chinese recipe and though it looked like cooked and blended red beans it was actually pretty good!
We are so grateful for our family. Eli sent some pictures of the girls at Sophie's birthday party. So would like to squeeze those little girls! They will be in Morgan in 11 days staying in our home for a month. Everyone is excited to have them home again.
