We had a lovely morning talking to the kids and recovering from our last two 12 hour days. Had Spanish classes this afternoon and scheduled another music lesson out in the country for Wednesday afternoons. Had the new couple from Korea that are from Africa but he was a teacher and had to flee for his life there. It was three years later that his wife heard from him and knew he was living. Three years after that she finally was allowed to go to Korea to be with him. While in Korea they joined the church. They speak a little English but mostly French and need to learn Spanish. So having them in Spanish Class today was difficult for both them and the teacher who did not know French. They know nata. They are such a cute couple who look completely lost - and we all know what that look feels like! I think they will have to find someone who knows French to help them learn Spanish. We will see what happens.
FHE followed Spanish where the Ewells and the Johnsons introduced themselves. The Dunfords had invited us over for a Chinese dinner which we couldn't make it to so we were trying to figure out when we could get together. You wouldn't think it would be so difficult.. The Eickbushes will be leaving next month - very sad for us because they are some of our best friends This is their second mission in four years so she is excited to get home and get some of her things done. They and the Leavitts go out to Los LLanos on Sundays - that is where we are going to start next Wednesday afternoon. It takes an hour and fifteen minutes just to get there but one of the desires of my heart was to be able to give some of the poor branches the same opportunity the city wards have. That is the ward we have visited that had the "golf cart decorated taxi". There area could be something out of an old movie. I love it! Plus we have the opportunity to spend time with the Leavitts who will be going out with us.
Alta Gracie came up to tell us goodbye today. Wow - everyone we have known well will be gone. It makes both of us very sad! Don't know what she will do to provide for her family.
