A day behind, as usual! Thursday morning we went to the temple and were in a session with all of the sister missionaries. The temple coordinator asked if we could come and be there in the session with them on Thursday mornings. We have been there the last two weeks but I didn't realize they get to come to the temple very Thursday. That will be fun to be with them. And I am excited to know that we will get to see Bailey Ferris at least six times while she is at the MTC here.
Last week at Los Llanos it rained before we got there so it was muddy. Our car looked like we had been out driving around in a mud pit but Scott didn't think it was dirty enough to wash. Ha! He kept hoping it would rain and wash it off but for an entire week it didn't rain that hard. He promised to go get it washed if it hadn't rained by the day after Los Llanos lessons. So when we got home from the temple on Thursday told me he was going to get the car washed. Five minutes later he was back. He said he had taken the car to the car wash - to look out the window and I would see it.
Next to our apartment building there is an empty lot that the Marriott Hotel next to us use to park their cars. They also have guys that was the cars so Scott called to one across the fence and asked if he would wash our car - so there it is - sparkling clean for $5.00. Quite a car wash!
After the temple we had a lesson at the Institute. They are out of school for two weeks but some of the kids wanted to come anyway. We thought we would continue teaching the two classes of students we have this summer session. However as we were ending two people came in and said they had signed up for the new class and new six or so others who had also signed up. So we're not sure exactly how that will pan out. We left there and went to Santo Domingo Stake for another lesson. There is a woman in this class that I just love. She is so appreciative but she is the one who rounds up five of the students and makes sure they are at the lesson. Next time I am going to get a picture of her.
They are having a big book fair here that is about a block away so every time we come home we are caught in traffic for some time. The church has a booth there about family values that they have gotten a lot of good publicity on.
So Friday - free day - today. Of course that means time to wash and clean, etc. It is so humid here that things take forever to dry. (Don't have a dryer) Had a Spanish class this afternoon with the Marinos. Then came home and had the Yturraldes down for rootbeer floats and a card game. Elder Yturralde is finally feeling better but has to be careful about what he eats.
We have wanted to get a picture of the family moto here and Elder Leavitt finally got one:
If they are too poor to own a car many of them have motorcycles that they use to transport the family. It is amazing how many they can fit on a motorbike! Many people don't have any kind of transportation.
