Another hot day here in the DR! Scott cut my hair again - this time he really did just shorten it a little. That's because I had my hand up ready to knock the scissors out of his hands if it looked like he was cutting off more than 1/2 inch. It's still just growing even after the last time but some areas were still longer than others. What a husband! He is such a good sport. Notice however that he never asks me to cut his hair....
We were to meet with the Mahons and the Institute Director today about establishing an Institute Choir but when we got there the Mahons were at the doctor. He had sent us a text but our phone only works half of the time. It was fun to be at the Institute with some of the kids there for classes and just having fun together.
Got back just in time to teach our music class. Katty was the only one there because a new group of missionaries came in today so I had Scott teach her. I think it worked out much better because his Spanish is so much more helpful than mine. We did talk in Spanish for quite a while though because my husband has coerced everyone in to just talking Spanish with me so I can learn to communicate better. It's a good idea but sometimes very frustrating!
Our Spanish classes were good. The Cornishs are back from Conference so Reed was back. What a refreshing young man he is. He made Scott a birthday card early because he was leaving and told me today that he has mine all done too. I told him it would be a much better world if everyone was like him. He said "Yes, I know, but they just aren't". Not meaning it in any way to be condescending but just a pure heart that knows how to be happy and kind at all times. (Like many Downs Syndrome kids, I hear) I am so grateful we have had the privilege to get to know him.
Scott and the Yturraldes are in the kitchen listening to the Ryan/Biden debate. If I listen to that stuff at night I can never get to sleep! Can you imagine having Biden as a president. I did appreciate Romney saying his first stipulation in choosing a running mate was if he would be a good president if anything happened - not who would bring in voters.
