Was a morning free from lessons so we went to the temple. It looks like Tuesday and Thursday mornings are the only free times we will have to go. As usual at starting time Scott and I and two sisters were in the chapel. Fifteen minutes later in comes more people. And they finally start about 20 minutes or more later. This is certainly a mission where the challenge of developing patience is
so important in staying sane! It seems like the morning sessions have many more Dominican workers that the evening sessions. We were probably two of the six white people in the whole building. It is such a privilege to live so close to the temple and to have time to go. On our way home we saw a man struggling to peddle his bike with a big basket on front - in the basket all curled up was another man! What you see when you don't have a camera.
It's getting hot and humid again. We had two wonderful months of 70/80s but now we're back up in the high 80's and low 90's and 95% humidity - at least it feels that humid as the sweat runs down your back. It is so strange to think that we don't have to get up early the next two mornings and get out of the house only to come back eleven hours later. I am so anxious for conference and very grateful that we can get it on the Internet here in our apartment.
Yturraldes invited us up for super again because she had tried a new pizza recipe. They are such fun friends! We played Five Crowns again and it ended up the exact same way it did the last time we played. Chances are pretty good we will be teaching on Friday nights in this new area. Hate to give up the one night we have off but we are determined to fit as much service into this last part of our mission as we can.
