It seems like I got nothing done today....We had refreshments with two others couples for the FHE at the Casa tonight. Had to bake a banana cake, go to Price Mart to get ice cream and get the rest of the things we needed together. Anytime you go to Price Mart it is a 11/2 hour trip at best - and it is only five miles away. Takes at least 1/2 an hour to get there and 1/2 to get home. I'm tired of this city living that is supposed to be so great because you have many shopping options but it takes forever to get there, find a parking place, and get home. Can't just jump in the car and run to Jubilee and be home in 1/2 an hour or 45 minutes.....
Baked the cake and made some cheeseburger soup for Scott. Did some Spanish homework then it was time to go to Spanish classes. They actually made sense to me today - on subjunctive conjugation of verbs. I'm trying to speak to the locals more - the little kids are the best to practice on!
Everyone here agrees that the Dominicans speak their own brand of Spanish so I don't feel quite as inadequate.
Family Home Evening was a farewell meeting for the Browns and Sister Chantrelle. We went down early to set up the chairs but some good soul had already done that so we got the cakes and fruit set out. Sister Brown has come to Scott's Spanish but has not been able to be there all of the time and despite her husband's prodding for her to learn Spanish she really hasn't. She has been refreshing to have in class because she isn't stressed out about learning. Sister Cuenot told us tonight that she had cured her cataracts by putting slices of onion on her eyelids and kept on while she slept with a band of some kind. She has been doing this for over a year. I can just imagine Scott sleeping next to me with the smell of fresh onions - Vicks drives him crazy!
