You know by now nothing is unusual here! We went to the temple this morning - huge session with lots of sister missionaries and some elders. There are so many more sisters than there have ever been and they look so young. Couldn't be because we are getting older by the minute! We stopped at the grocery store on the way home - at Scott's suggestion - believe it or not..So that left us less than an hour before we had to leave for our Institute music class. That class was chuck full today.
By the time the students and I packed the things down to the car - Scott was talking to a young girl who so badly wanted to get into the class for 45 minutes - we only had half an hour to get things together to get to the Santo Domingo stake for a lesson. There is a wonderful woman in this class that brings five kids to lessons every week. She takes lessons too. There was no one to lock up or to let us out of the gate when we finished packing up the car again. The sister called everyone she knew and we didn't have any numbers with us so after forty five minutes we finally got out of the church yard. It's amazing how much fun kids can have in any situation!
While we were trying to get someone to come let us out the phone rang and it was Julio that worked here earlier and got fired like everybody else. He hasn't found a job and his girlfriend and his baby have nothing to eat. The baby was crying and he was desperate. Then the phone cut off. We have tried ever since to get him back but he must be out of minutes on his phone because it goes right to a messaging service. So now we are both just sick because we don't know how to find him. Some of the workers would regularly ask for money or help but he never did so we know he must be desperate. We just hope he calls back. It has been an unsettling day.
I am so grateful for the stability of the gospel!
