      It's been a fun day.  We didn't have any extra things going on until noon when we picked up the Shavers and their daughter to go to lunch.  They are leaving on Monday to go home so we probably won't see them again.  We have really enjoyed them.  He has a personality like Uncle Roger.  They wanted to go to Andrian Tropical where we would have loved to have taken our kids when they came but didn't have time.  You set about 20 feet from the ocean overlooking the waves coming in.

They are from Idaho.  Somewhere near Boise in a place called Eagle.  I think they must have always been fairly prosperous because they say that everywhere they have lived they have had a swimming  pool in their yard.  They are going home to their place that has a connected "nanny apartment"  where they are going to live.  Their kids are living in the main part of their house.  But they also have a guest house.  It would be fun to go and see them!
     After lunch we came home and got ready for our class in Santo Domingo.  We were there on time but we had divided the class last week because there were so may in the class and they wandered in for the first hour.  We ended up with fourteen there - which is great because there will be that many or more on Thursday night. 
     The Yturraldes stopped on their way home from the temple.  They said that Sister Duran had passed away a couple of weeks ago.  She is the older handicapped woman that used to come on Tuesday nights with her son. Such a beautiful older woman with a wonderful spirit.  It was such a privilege to be able to help her.
