Another day of rain. It's a good thing this city is made of cinder blocks and cement or it would have all washed away by now. The Yturraldes went to church with us today since their branch meetings were canceled. Many of the senior couples that were coming to our ward have volunteered to help different branches (which is what we wished we could do) so they aren't at church with us. We miss them! The Ruckers were there today. We have really enjoyed getting to know them. Of course it was raining when we came out so Scott went to get the car and picked us up in front of the church. Brother Yturralde had our umbrella and decided he would take me out to the car then go back and get his wife.. So he motions to me that Scott is there and we take off hustling under the umbrella. I opened the front passenger door to get in and lo and behold there was Sister Rucker with a surprised look on her face sitting in the passenger seat. I hurried and shut the door as Scott drove up in our car. There are four silver Toyota Corollas in our group of friends - and the Ruckers have one of them. We aren't used to two of them being at our church at the same time though. We laughed about that all the way home because Brother Yturralde thought it was so funny. I will have to call Sister Rucker and apologize for scaring her because she didn't see me coming.
We waited to hear if we would still have lessons out in Oriental but never could get ahold of the high councilman in charge so we just went out there. They have many, many billboards along the road. All of the frames were there, empty with the plastic signs rolled up at the bottom of the frame. Guess they were trying to save them from the hurricane. Maria met us there but no one else came for awhile. Maria is my favorite woman out here! We just love working with this group of kids and Maria. When many of them showed up late we told them we thought they had probably drowned.
We need more teachers for this class because the students are at three or four different levels in learning but we'll do the best we can do.
