Our day began with the usual exercise, scripture study, and Spanish study. It got better though as we went with the senior missionary group to the National Palace. The President does not live here but entertains, meets others; does business here.
The outside is a typical Dominican look and inside the mahogany woodwork is beautiful. The mural is a depiction of Columbus discovering the Dominican Republic. There were three huge rooms that were all beautiful with columns and sculptures, chandeliers, stained glass windows in the ceilings, marble floors. The first was where the government officials met, the second was a huge ballroom, and the next was a room to greet people for special occasions. There was also a very large room and table where the workers ate. The table was 30x10 ft. Special tours have to be arranged because they don't have them normally. They told us to take our passports but no one ever asked for them. We just had to go through airport like security to get in.
Came home and got our things for Spanish class and went back for Scott's class. President Glazier had asked us to come and be investigators for the missionaries so we spent an hour or so doing that. The missionaries had only been here for four days so they were just beginning to understand what they needed to know.
We're home for the night - yeah! Have to be at the Casa at 7:30 in the morning to cook pancakes for a 24th of July party for the senior missionaries. This heat just zaps the energy out of you!
