Spent the morning and part of the afternoon without power again. That pretty much puts our work at a standstill plus you can't do any housework or cooking. It provided alot of study time though so I should be grateful because heaven knows I need more time to study!
This afternoon were our two Spanish classes which I survived, barely. It feels like there is so much information in my brain that I can't process it all. The day will come when I can though. (The power of positive thinking!) We had to be back at the Casa in 40 minutes so we just took an apple and carrots for super and stayed for Family Home Evening.
The meeting was supposed to be a farewell for the Lowes. He is a lawyer for the church here. For some reason his replacement can't be here for another six months so they told him if he would stay here for a month then go home for a month for six months they would pay for his flights to and from Canada. That sounds like desperation to me! So they changed the meeting and had the new seventy in our area presidency and his wife talk. First the Haitian missionaries leaving to go back to Haiti as missionaries came and sang an opening song. They were amazing! Haiti only lets their own people serve as missionaries there. That's the only people it would be safe to send there from all we hear.
Then Pres. and Sister Sivic spoke. She told about her Polish grandfather and Jewish grandmother joining the church. Even though he spoke in "Spanglish" his talk was marvelous. How great it is to get to interact with people like the Sivics. Wish I had some pictures but my camera battery was dead when we got there.
The Beechers, from Lehi, are here on their way to Guyana. We were excited to talk to them about working with the music program there because they both play the piano. They will be working with the PEF program.
I finally got some house slippers so my feet wouldn't get so dirty on these grimy floors. My sister would be proud!
