10/30/2012

       Hallelujah!  The gas is back on.  Scott talked to the head lady this morning and told her they could have let us know they were shutting off the gas. so we could try to get ahold of the landlord.  So she reluctantly agreed to turn the gas on temporarily.   Now we have gas running into the stove but no electricity to start it.  Scott has been lighting it with a match - thus he no longer has hair on his hand!
We need one of those fireplace matches with the long stem.  We thought the power problem would be addressed by Joel today but no way - didn't hear from him at all.  Maybe tomorrow.....
We left for the Temple at 5:30.  I was so happy to see Sister ? was back.  She is the beautiful older woman who used to come every Tuesday but is handicapped and has been very ill.  She has the most serene countenance!  One of the male obreos is her son but I don't know if he brings her or just how she gets to the temple.
   As we drove out of the temple grounds to our apartment you could not help but feel the difference between the peace of the temple and the noise of the world.  What a blessing it is to be able to spend time in the temple.
   I hear Yturraldes in the kitchen.  They must have stopped by on their way home from the temple.  They live on the sixth floor up and by the time they get to our floor they are pooped so they stop for a break before climbing the last two floors.  It is great to have friends here!
