Had an opportunity to catch up on studies - if there is such a thing as catching up. As we meet more senior missionaries who have served three or four missions in Spanish speaking areas and still do not feel they know the language I realize that learning a new language takes complete immersion in it - as the young missionaries have. So I'll just learn all I can and quit stressing out!
Scott went to take our pictures and passports to have our visas renewed this morning and didn't come back, and didn't come back until I thought he surely must be in trouble somewhere. But no, he shows up finally and had been grocery shopping all by himself! He even remembered my grapefruit. Perhaps he can be the lone shopper from now on... Then I can get more things done in our "office" at the apartment He says now I can't leave and go home because we have no visas. As if I would do a thing like that! (tempting as it may be at times). There is always more to do than there is time for and we don't even have the constant interruptions we used to have. It could be that we are just getting slower........
We had Spanish classes at 4:00 and 5:00. I have really enjoyed Elder Marino's class. Scott's class is kind of hard at times though. Guess you never grow if you aren't challenged, darn! It is a fun bunch of people in the classes. We have really enjoyed getting to know the Marinos. She is such a character - reddish hair and beautiful bright blue eyes. He was raised in Mexico so has many interesting stories about the language there.
Went to the temple after Spanish for the 7:00 session. There were lots of people there and quite a few that we knew from lessons and visits with the stake presidents. They were having a special youth conference at the Casa so we ran into the twins and Camila from the Oriental Stake. Was a great time to remind them of the recital on Sunday. They seem to be calm - just Scott and I are nervous!!
