This is the beginning of our 7th month here. In ways it seems like a couple of years and in others you wonder where the time has gone. It is so good to have a feel for what we are to do here. If the stake presidents just moved a little, or maybe a lot, faster we could be of more help to them. Some of the wards are finding out that we have classes in other stakes and they don't want to wait for their stake to get on board so we may be working from the bottom up in some areas. We'll see.
Our Spanish class, Elder Hammons, took a field trip on Monday up to see two waterfalls. We stayed home to wait for the internet repairman. They told about the trip today and was I ever glad we didn't go! They had to cross this swaying, hanging bridge that could only hold five people at a time and spanned the distance between two mountains. I am so afraid of heights I probably would have had a heart attack! Plus there was a river under the bridge... Then they had to hike for fourty five minutes up the side of a mountain and that about killed all of them. ( Being senior missionaries and all) Coming down the switch back path was covered in wet leaves and gravel so they had to hold on to the trees to keep from slipping down the mountain. When they finally got back to the cars they were starving and could not find anyplace to eat. When they did find a restaurant they were the only ones there so the owners took them on a tour of the kitchen where they cooked. Thank heavens that was after they ate. They were amazed that no one got sick! Doesn't that sound like so much fun?? Those of us who did not go had a good laugh.
We have two new couples here again. The Schmits (don't know about that spelling) and the Merinos. They are taking the place of the Fords and the McDemids. The Schmits are from Layton. Most of the people here have been on previous missions. She had heard of Scott's beginning Spanish class though and wanted to know when it was. She does know a little Spanish from a previous mission.
We had our lessons at the Casa today. The guys are going to sing " Peace Be Still" for me next week - I can't wait. They have great voices. After two Spanish classes we went to the temple and got home just in time to talk to Megan. Talked with Melia and Alysha today also. I really miss my girls!
They had a lunch shower for Hannah and little Samson - not yet born but coming soon!
