1/2-3/2013

Typing in that 2013 certainly seems weird!  Wednesday is a blur and it was only yesterday. We did do a couple of sessions at the temple.  So many people have bad colds they should just shut down and get everyone well - hah!  What a privilege it is to be able to go and do that work.  It is some of our missionary work here.
  Today we went out to PriceMart and the Blue Mall.  We were hoping to find a cord for the teclado that was somehow lost in our travels but there wasn't a Casio store there like we had been told there was.  We did get addresses for some electronic stores from one of the guards though so maybe another day we will go looking for them.  At PriceMart I printed off pictures to take to San Crystobol.  We are putting together information for the Caribbean history and using their ward as an example of what we have been doing.  They are such a fun group - I think I have said that before about all of the other groups we teach.  It is true though.  We have really enjoyed our association with the students we have had here.
   Elder Hammon did not have his class today but Scott had his so we went to the Casa.  There are no new missionaries so our returned missionaries weren't there.  The Spanish class was good.  Just reviewing the verb conjugations is so helpful.  The Schmidts and the Haws were the only ones in town so it was a small class but very good! 
    After class we went to the temple.  The temple president and his wife, the Bairs, were in our session and invited us over to have ice cream and cake when we got out of the temple.  Of course I am trying not to eat sugar but the visiting was fun.
   Our water has been off today and when we left I asked Scott to check the bathroom taps and make sure they were turned off in case the water came back on while we were gone.  He forgot and we didn't think about it until we were at the Bairs.  We left in a hurry to see if water was running down into the apartment below us - thankfully it wasn't.  The bathroom water was on and running but thank heavens had an overflow hole because the sink does not drain well at all. It was full and running down the hole but not overflowing the sink.  Blessed once again!!
  We hadn't seen Wilton for a couple of days so asked AltaGracie where he was.  She said he had been fired because he hadn't shown up for work the day before.  That's just great.  I'm not sure if Soyla really has reasons to fire all these people we get close to or if she just does it to bug us!!
Anyway, like William., we will really miss Wilton.
