5/23/2013

     Another peaceful morning at the temple.  I will surely miss being able to drive five minutes to the temple twice a week.  Many of our friends are temple workers so there are always temple workers there that we enjoy being with.  On Wednesday when we went the film quit working so after ten minutes of trying to get that going they gave up and took us to another session room. They only have two session rooms here.  Some different than Ogden where they had many and had a session every 20 minutes.  Here it is two times during the morning and two times at night.  The sister missionaries were with us again today.  It is fun to watch them.  You wonder if they had any idea just what being a missionary entailed!  I certainly have learned much here - and realize that I was such a wus I never would have made a good missionary at 21 and certainly not at 19.
    I had the afternoon to study so went through all of the reflexive verbs in this Spanish program I am doing.  Used to have a lot of study time but it is rare now.  By the time I die I may have learned Spanish...
   Our lesson in Santo Domingo tonight was good.  Everyone was there even though it has been raining and so many came on Tuesday night.  This is one of the classes we had to split because it was to big.  Two of the boys in this class are doing very well.  Then there are a couple who still have a difficult time finding middle C or Do central as they call it here.  Keeping everyone going at their own pace is the challenging thing.
    We called Ramishs to see if they wanted to go out to dinner tomorrow night since last time she spent days cooking to feed us a Napaleze dinner.  They do want to go so that should be fun..  Scott has become pretty social here - seems a bit weird because we all know that isn't normal for him.
    I have really come to love the hymns even though I never get the English version here and the Spanish is hard to follow.  They teach the gospel message in such a beautiful way.  Necesita practicar mos though.

Kelsey wanted to see some pictures of us so I have been trying to include them.  Scott thinks I was born with a camera in my hand!  He is always asking "What are you taking a picture of now?" What are you taking a picture of that for?"  in that sarcastic tone of voice.
