Here it is Tuesday night and we are waiting to skype with the kids that are coming next week. I keep thinking it won't be long before this part of our lives seems like a dream! Yesterday we had our usual Spanish classes. Elder Hammon's class was hilarious as one of the sisters made up a sentence about her husband without realizing what she was saying. Elder Hammon stood there with trying not to laugh but finally gave in and so did the rest of us. I am so grateful to understand most of what he says in that class. Then we had a farewell FHE for the Glaziers, the St. Hillaires and the Roberts. So many people are leaving and you know you will probably never see them again - they have all become good friends to us.
We spent most of the day studying then went to the 5:00 pm temple session. Going in we met a couple here from Santiago to attend the temple for a few days. When they ask what we do here and we told them and they looked at us like we actually were musicians - and as usual we have to tell them we certainly are not musicians and if it weren't for the Lord's help we wouldn't be able to do this job at all. They are from Lehi and said they were meeting a couple from here who were their neighbors - come to find out it was the Eickbushes! Sister Partridge was almost in tears after the temple session because she is so frustrated with not being able to communicate. They have only been here four months. We all know just how she feels and were able to tell her it gets a little better with time. We are going to pick them up for lunch tomorrow and the Eickbushes are going with us - that will be fun! She had taught a conducting course in the Institute in Santiago and is working with a girl who is starting a keyboard class. It will be fun to talk to them. I am working on the history report for last year for the area so it will be good to have that information. She is actually a cousin of Craig Fishers.
