6/5/2012

  It's a fairly cool night here.  9:30 pm and people everywhere - MacDonald's is full and the bus stop below us is full of people waiting to go home.  It looks like some of the colleges have had their graduations tonight with all of the young people around.  Night doesn't start here for these people until after 8:00pm and goes on until midnight.  Our next door neighbor, an insurance agent, told us she often has appointments at 11:00 at night.  We didn't ask if they were insurance related!  Scott is always trying to feed her desserts and she is always telling him that she is dieting - it gets pretty funny.
   Scott came home from his morning jog and was so excited.  He has become friends with a man who guards one of the schools  by us each night so Scott passes him in the morning.  They got talking and he told Scott he wanted to be a member of our church. He has nine children - three still at home.  I don't know how he ever provided for them here.  He lives out in San Cristobal.  We went out there for a training - it's about an hour away - and I have wanted to go back ever since.  The old cement churches and buildings there are amazing!
    Thankfully my stomach is feeling better! We got to do a session tonight with the Snows and the little French couple here -whose name I can't say let alone spell!  I have gained such an appreciation for my sons who served missions and for friends who have served. and are serving now.
