We are almost down to five months - that just seems unreal! We have sent so many good friends home so I guess it makes sense that our turn will come too. I am so grateful that some of our family came out to see us. It was so nice for us to be able to experience that feeling of family again. We have missed that so much!
I studied Spanish for a good three hours today. It was great to have some uninterrupted time to study. Now the Dominicans are playing the Puerto Ricans in some world baseball tournament and they must have it televised outside close to us because we can hear the cheers and the music. We had our lesson at Gasque tonight. The students are just learning fingering numbers and beginning on learning the keys so it is tedious and difficult for many of them.
This young boy is quick. He must have India blood in him because he does look different than the others - he's a cute boy.
I just love this woman. It doesn't come easy for her. So many of these people play something for awhile and before you know it they have it memorized and don't even look at the music.
I have never seen people that know how to pose like the Dominicans! From 2 years of age to 90.
She brought us some cajuil fruit (stinky fruit that has a stem that they roast and it becomes a cashew) and some mangos. I know she has almost nothing. These people are so willing to share anything they do have.
When we got home about 8:45 we took the fruit to Yturraldes because she loves that kind of stuff. She makes juice with them. She was at the temple but Elder Yturralde was home sick so we went to the temple to pick her up and give her a ride home. How great it is to have friends living in your apartment building! We just hope they don't leave before we do!! They are still working on the Mexico thing.
When we pulled in to the parking lot the guard was asleep with the shotgun between his knees. Scott stopped the car and we just sat there to see if he would wake up - he didn't until Scott honked the horn. Now that makes you feel safe and secure! Our gate is broken and doesn't close so anyone can drive in.
