A day behind again! We have changed the days of some of our lessons so I'm all confused. Tuesday we went to Los Llanos to teach taking the Gray's with us. It was fun to get to know them since he is now the Branch President at Los Llanos and will be going out there with us often. They also have 10 children so we had a fun discussion on big families. It rained all the way there and
when we got there the sidewalk was half covered with inches of water and there was water sitting on the roads - dirt roads in fact. It was raining so hard we just sat in the car for half an hour to see if any of our students would show up. Sure enough. Some of the die-hard ones started coming when the rain let up a bit. It was nice to have Sister Gray's help.
We were late leaving because Pres. Gray had a last minute interview so that put us late getting back for our Santo Domingo lesson. We had hoped to get home and grab a bite to eat before going out for the night (that's what the lesson ends up being). That didn't happen! Half of the students that come on Thursday came on Tuesday because they couldn't come to the Thursday lesson. So the class was bigger then usual. Finally got home around 9:30 pm.
Today we went to the temple in the morning then I studied until 4:00 when we had to leave for the two Las Caobas classes. Again it was just pouring and there was water running everywhere. We doubted anyone would show up for the class but there were twelve there. We have been meeting in the chapel - which is a big room that they set up folding chairs in for church - but came to unlock the gate for us and for some reason he wanted us to go upstairs to teach. So we hauled everything up to a room about the size of my kitchen. First of all it was well over 80 degrees in there so we opened the windows. At least there was a breeze and a bit cooler because of the rain. But having 14 keyboards playing in a room that size was no fun. Then the Bishop came in and shut all of the windows because he had turned on the air conditioner. It was sweltering with the humidity and the heat. However, that was the best part of the night. About ten minutes after we started a few moth-like things started flying around the room. Two moths soon became over a hundred. They were everywhere! How I wish I would have had my camera to take a picture of everyone swatting at them as Scott was trying to teach the lesson. It was actually funny until they came over to the corner I was in. You didn't dare open your mouth to talk because they were flying around your face, inside your shirt, down your back - you name it. The only solace was we killed many of them, but they just continued to multiply. I was never so glad to have a lesson end!! They claim the bugs aren't usually there.....
