We started the day out at the temple. The session was overflowing with missionaries from the East Mission. Pres. and Sister Hernandez were there with them. What an overwhelming job it must be to care for and direct all those young men and women!! Sister Ewell, who works in the East Office says the church must be true or these young men would have ruined it long ago. She deals with many of the financial problems that come up. There are more Americans in this group than I have seen since we got here. It is a neat experience to go through a session with them. For some reason it always takes all morning.
Stopped at LaSerena on the way home and met the Ewells and the Ruckers there shopping. They all want to go out to dinner this Friday. I'll tell you these senior missionaries are the most social people I've known! Friday is the only night we have free and that will probably end as soon as we get this other class going.
I'm fitting in better here this afternoon. Scott colored my hair and it looks pretty Dominican.
When we got to our class tonight there was a young family waiting for a meeting. This darling little girl came running to the car and was so excited to see the boxes of tecladas. She was probably three or four. She helped us carry things upstairs and just ran from one thing to another. Her father came up to keep track of her and said she has so much energy it is hard to care for her. Definite ADHD I'd say! All that energy and intelligence in such a cute little body. There should be some way to transfer that energy to those of us who really need it....
