It's been a busy day here trying to sandwich studying in with visits from neighbors, Spanish class, and a temple session. Scott jogs early in the morning then goes to buy fruit from some poor fruit seller to bring home some bananas for the guards here. This morning on his way home he ran in to our downstairs neighbor, Raisa and her two little kids so they followed him up to visit. I did get a couple of pictures of the kids but Raisa didn't think she looked good enough to have her picture taken. She was asking how long we would be here? When did we get to go home and see our kids? Etc. When she found out that we didn't go home at all until we were through she was amazed. Scott told her I really missed hugging my little grandchildren so she immediately called her two little ones over and told them to give me a hug - that was so nice for me!
This is Estaphania and Antonio. Pretty cute, huh?
After they left the Yturraldes dropped by because they have four days off and had nothing to do so they visited for an hour or two until it was time for us to leave for class. At the Casa there were six big buses that had brought people to the temple because today is a holiday here and they were all off work. It looked like an ant bed with kids, teenagers, parents all running around. After a very relaxed Spanish class we walked over to the temple to see if we could even get in to do our regular Thursday night session. We did get in but just barely! When we came out there were still people everywhere. When people bring their families here while they go through a temple session, all of the kids are outside the temple and the Casa. They must have had two or three bus loads of kids doing baptisms. There were also some dentists and their wives visiting here doing humanitarian work.
Still no air conditioning so the heat is a bit draining. Our studying was cut short today so had better get busy and study for awhile before bed.
