Coming to the end of the day is a wonderful thing sometimes! And today is one of those times.
It's been like Grand Central Station in our apartment the entire day. First William and Wilton came up. Then while I was skyping with Alysha, (it's so good to talk with her and see the kids) Timila from upstairs came to visit with pen in hand so I could teach her some Spanish. Soon after she arrived Wilton showed up for his daily Spanish lesson and gospel study with Scott on his lunch hour. It was kind of fun to teach her some basic words that I actually knew! I don't know how she has remained sane being here not knowing the language and never leaving her apartment or talking to anyone until her husband gets home from work. Was so glad she came down. By the time she left I only had two hours to get food ready to take to Sister Lilly. That was a rush because you never know if or how the oven is going to work or if you will have to make another batch of whatever you are making because this one didn't work out.
Brother Lilly works for the church and they live in "the big and spacious building" across from the Casa. When we got there with supper they wanted to show us through their apartment which is absolutely spacious and beautiful. The Church had bought a number of apartments in this building for the area presidency and the other people who come here to work for the Church. There were five bathrooms, four bedrooms and a maid's quarters, a den, a lovely living room, a big kitchen, walk in closets, etc. etc. Sister Lilly said when they came here they were shown the apartment and asked if it would be ok for them to live in. They were so overwhelmed they were speachless. The Lilly's are such nice people. She teaches our Sunday School class and does a great job ( in English). We did ask if they would like to trade us apartments when our kids come....
Driving in to the parking lot I mentioned to Scott that I had told Sister Lee that I would help her get started with the keyboard training book. So he calls and asks them to come over for dinner. I had dishes all over from cooking and baking all afternoon and was pooped so rushing in to clean up the apartment in 15 minutes didn't sound like much fun to me. Scott figures if we are eating we just as well have someone eating with us! So the Lee's came for dinner.. I did take some pictures today to put on here so I will have them. Sister Lee doesn't speak English even though I think she understands quite a bit and it is not easy for me to understand her Spanish so we will see how these lessons go. Might just be great for both of us!
They left and Elder Yturaldie came to see if I would scan a document of his and email it to him. I couldn't find where the scan went so he went upstairs to get his wife. She came down and found it and visited for an hour. Now it is after 9:00 and I haven't really had much of a chance to study all day today. I will study before I go to bed and hope it permeates deep into my subconscious!
Scott waiting for me to finish blogging so he can listen to the news.
