Coming to the end of a Sunday that was very different for us. Because of Mother's Day we had no lessons this afternoon. Then we had to think of things we could do to keep the Sabbath Day holy which has not been an issue since we usually don't normally get home until night on Sundays.
We took our little kids to church this morning - which is always a joy. They even had new skirts to wear today (probably not new, but different). Olgalydia had done Cati's hair. She had straight bangs and two straight pigtails. It's a lot of work to straighten their hair but she looked so cute. It is amazing what they go through to have their hair straightened. They must all carry store grocery bags with them because if it looks like rain they all have them tied around their hair. Everyone carries umbrellas even on sunny days, as much to protect them from the sun as the rain. It has been fun to see how other people live and the interesting things they do that are just normal for them. The Senior Missionary department was right when they called and said we would love this mission! It has been a challenge to teach music and communicate in Spanish but the relationships we have made are choice.
