Here it is 10:30 pm and I am just starting to blog! We just got off the phone with Don and Linda McClellan - what fun that was talking to them. We have really appreciated their friendship through many years. They are planning on going on a mission and will be a great addition wherever they go.
We had two Spanish classes today. Elder Marino teaches the first one and he grew up in Mexico so he knows Mexican Spanish which is quite different than Dominican Spanish. He thinks the Dominicans, if not corrected, will have a language all of their own in another 50 years. It is always comforting to know that even the men who know Spanish can't understand what people are saying here. You would have to be immersed in their culture to a greater extent than we are as senior missionaries are. Asi es! We are learning and having fun in class. Scott teaches the second class and the senior missionaries all think he was a teacher as his profession. He can teach anything whether he knows it or not! I just wish my mind was half as good as his. He is starting over with some new couples so it is nice to review the things I have already learned.
Here are some pictures from our vacation:
What a wonderful time it was to have these kids (?) here with us!
