Finally got my Spanish internet class working again so I spent the entire morning studying while the audio part was working. Scott went to the temple to do another session. He was gone for over 3 hours and the temple is only 5 minutes away so I knew he must have gotten into some kind of issue at the temple. It was great having uninterrupted time though.
We had a meeting at 3:15 with the Puerto Rico Stake that was here to attend the temple. Many of them teach music there and on the surrounding islands. It is amazing to me how many truly dedicated senior missionary couples there are here. Sister Whitaker, who planned the meeting, was recovering from hemorrhagic dengue - which is an internal bleeding kind of disease that kills many people here every year. She was in the hospital for four months and they had little hope she would survive. I had no idea she had been so sick. Her hair was short and her clothes were way too big for her. She said the medicine they gave her made her loose all of her hair and it was just growing back. She has been such a wonderful music helper wherever they have been. We met them when they first got here and really enjoyed spending time with them.
As soon as we finished there we went up to Marino's apartment for a Spanish lesson. Elder Marino had decided that from now on he is going to be Scott's helper - not the teacher of the first Spanish class. So now we will just have a combined class on Friday. Which is good because we will probably be teaching another class on Friday night. Marinos are so much fun - I have loved getting to know them. They want to come to the ranch and visit us when we all get home. They were the ones that were in Colorado during the Columbine shooting. She was called in to help the kids and said it was horrible for those kids to recover from.
We left Scott's Spanish class and headed for the Ramishs for dinner. She wanted to cook an authentic Nepalize dinner for us - she must have spent the entire day cooking. Many different spices but really pretty good:

This is the Ramishs. The fried vegetables were the appetizer. The other six or so dishes of food were all kinds of different India food. Dessert was yogurt with blueberries, bananas, and sliced almonds. The most interesting were the balls of curdled milk that she had strained and added lemon juice to. It was amazingly good !
