10/24/2012

There must have been another tropical storm going by because we had crazy weather today.  Wind and rain - here they call it a tormento and I think that transfers fairly well into English what kind of a storm it has been.  Scott was mopping up water again as it dripped from the windows.  The wind was howling through our big windows, shaking them like they were going to break out.  We left and went to the temple - by the time we got into the temple I looked like I had been at sea for months!  Oh well....
    The women that were at the temple last night were there again tonight.  I had an opportunity to talk to the young one.  She is going to Utah to UVSU this December to school and is so nervous about it being cold.  She is contemplating going in April instead because it will be warmer.  Since she gets sick when it is cold here (70 degrees) I don't think she would fair too well in a Utah winter.  She is such a cute girl.  She has her long, long hair braided in about 30 braids from the top of her head down her back.  I wanted to ask her how long it took to do that hair style but thought she might think it was none of my business!
     Our morning started with a great surprise.  Joe called on skype at 6:00am his time but he was up with a wide awake little Samson.  What a beautiful, sweet, and content baby!  It was such a treat for us.  How blessed Joe and Hannah are to have him.  We have seen many of our youngest grandchildren on skype this week and I have to say  - seeing how much they have grown and changed since we left 8 months ago just makes me want to cry...  I know - I am a sad, sorry excuse for missionary.
