Well as Scott and I discussed what we did yesterday we realized that we had been very preocipado
with some issues and hadn't accomplished much except to be very frustrated that our computer wasn't working and that was the means by which we communicate for our music assignment. We did go out shopping and bought some hair dye for Scott to color my hair which is getting alot of gray in it. He is such a good sport! And such a perfectionist that it makes you fairly comfortable with having him do those kinds of things. I don't like that characteristic when you have to turn the pancakes in a certain order though....
We didn't want to go out to dinner with the Friday night supper group because we were trying to get our computer working and didn't really feel like going out but they called us from across the street where they were going to eat (the Mafia looking guys) at Adams Rib so we went over and joined them. The food there is wonderful and they are always very respectful but you wonder what is going on when they bring your food in from outside the back door.
Today the big push was to get the computer working so we could talk to our kids. The other missionaries with the same internet service weren't having any problems with theirs so we knew it was just ours. Elder Yturralde came down and was going to call the company for us because he is more fluent in Spanish and could tell them what was wrong- plus he is a real "in your face kind of a guy" and I was desperate for internet service. What it all came down to was the wall plug that I had checked four or five times was pulled out of the area it sets back in. What a blessing!! I knew if it was something they had to fix it would be eons of time before we got it back. Not to say that these people are slow but . . .
...... So I am very relieved to have a working computer and a way to get ahold of my family.
We have a meeting tonight an hour or so out of the city. The Snows are going also so that will make it more fun to travel.. I decided we had time to put the color on my hair. Now mind you I was very careful to get a color close to my hair color - without red in it because I really do not like my hair red.
Well, you guessed it - it's red. Scott laughs every time he looks at me. He says it's ok - it just looks like Reba (country western singer). Easy for him to say - but he did do his part well. Now if he would just stop laughing I'd feel better. So my esposo just came over and looked at me "It's not bad in the back, it kind of looks like hereford hair". Oh well.
We walked this morning up to the park by the temple. It is a beautiful area that fills a city block with all kinds of flowering trees and greenery. The rock here is coral and there were steps that took you about 15 feet down to 50'x50' open area where there were caves back in the rocks all around. It looks like they had tried to build a playground for kids at one time because there was a little train track, a castle type building and another building. Will get pictures of it because it was very interesting.
On the way back we stopped to give John Paul (one of the guards that wants to join the church) a Book of Mormon. He was excited and has the missionaries coming next week. We were hoping that Elder Midgley would be out in that area to teach him but he isn't. This man has 8 children but not by the same mothers. He didn't say how many wives he has had but he has one son who is Mormon that Ives in South America but he does not have much to do with him because he left when he was young with his mother. Scott asked him if he would bring his wife and come have dinner with us - he said he and his wife have both worked as chefs. Great ..
Off to another driving adventure in the city.
