Party Thursday! We started this morning at the temple. When we got there all of the sister missionaries were standing in front of the temple door. There used to be about eight sisters in the mission. Now there are over twenty at the MTC in the Casa. The temple had not been notified that they were coming so weren't ready for them. Here if they know there are going to be extra people at the temple doing initiatory or baptisms they have more helpers come in. Anyway, it was fun to be with them.
Got home in time to have lunch and get ready to go to the Institute. The University is still closed because they had a riot and had someone killed on Monday so we didn't know if we would have any students. However, they had planned a party because this is the last class before the semester ends so most of them showed up. I thought we were going to have a break because school is out for two weeks before summer semester begins but no, Scott told them we would be there if any of them wanted to come and continue lessons while school is out. If there is anyone tireless in serving, it is my husband.
We were late getting back because of the fiesta and a new young man that came and wants to start lessons. But we did have time to pick up some cheerio treats and leave for Santo Domingo for lessons. They all wanted the recipe for the treats so we know they were something they liked. While we were setting up tables Scott called me over to look out the window. A few feet from the building was a guy sitting in a tree trying to chop it down with an axe. He had most of it cut down but the hardest part was still standing. What he would have given for a chainsaw for ten minutes - if he even knew they existed!

One of my favorite women in this class wanted to take us to the National Museum on Monday. We have a meeting in the morning for the "Choir Event" and Spanish classes in the afternoon. Plus she works all day, goes to school at night and does all of her homework at night because that is the only time of day they have electricity. She is just finishing law school so she will be a lawyer. She is just awesome. When I said she should stay home on Monday and rest, she said she would have to spend the day cleaning and taking care of the kids. No time to rest!
So here we are at home and it's almost eleven so I'd better finish and get to bed.
