Mi espouso's birthday! He must have been such a cute baby. His hair is a little grayer but he just keeps getting better with age.
It has rained most of the day - again.We were awakened by loud thunder again early this morning, you know the kind that makes the windows rattle and shake and sets every car alarm in the area off.
We have two garbage cans to catch the constantly dripping water from the air conditioner. It is so hot and humid that if it still works we run it.
We had two Spanish classes today. Then we were hosts for family home evening. We had given each of the couples the assignment to come with a scripture that had helped them in some way and that had special meaning to them. One of the couples from Littleton, Colorado told about being in the middle of the Columbine shooting. She is a psychiatrist and was asked just weeks before the shooting by the Red Cross to set up an emergency mental help facility. She told about the Relief Societies there making blankets by the hundreds for the kids that were so traumatized by the event. It was fascinating to hear about that from someone who was so involved with the healing process for the school kids and the community. She is the new mental health person for the area here. Her name is Sister Merino.
We had a welcome party for the two new couples - the Merinos and the Schmidts. They have this silly birthday hat they make everyone wear on their birthday - Brother Cuenot's birthday was celebrated with Scott's.
The missionaries came in and sang an opening song for us. Notice how many of them are white.
You can't really tell by the picture but there are about 30 latin missionaries and 5 Americans.
We got home and talked to some of our kids and grandkids so that was a great end to the day.
