8/15/2012 the rest of the post ....

Couldn't get the pictures to come up on the other post and I wanted Brent to be able to see the Ruckers so am doing another post for the same day!  Elder Rucker reminds me a little of Craig Fisher.   Sister Rucker  isn't short so you can guess how tall he is.

These are the Schoops

                                                           It was a sad but fun night.

Tuesday we went to the temple and then to the Despains to give Sister Despain a music book so she can teach out in the branch they are going to.  They will be such a blessing to that branch!

And here it is Wednesday.  Wilton wants Scott to come and go to church with him out where he lives on Sunday.  I think Wilton and Josie and Oglivia and her kids are planning on going.  Wish I could go because I can't imagine where they would put a church down there where they live and because I really love these people.  Wilton, like many people here, does not know how to read so that is Scott's new project. Reading Spanish is the easiest part! 
  We have studied and planned most of the day.  Then went shopping - much to Scott's dismay!  He even took me to  a new store today that is supposed to be like a Walmart.  And it was.. Still couldn't find Cool Whip though. 
  At the end of another day I am grateful to know that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us despite all of our faults.  That we know why we are here and where we are going is so comforting. That when we know we do not have the ability to do the work we are here to do by ourselves, we also know that with God's help anything is possible.  We miss being home with our wonderful family and friends and ward family but know this will come to an end before we feel we have done all we could do to help here.
