After getting to bed at midnight last night and waking up dog tired, I pledged to myself to get to bed earlier tonight. It's only ten so there's hope. We did a morning session at the temple today and as we were coming out of the celestial room one of the workers stopped us and asked if we would go with the missionaries and do sealings . I had seen Sister Farris and many other sister missionaries in the dressing room. Some of them went to the session while others did sealings then traded for the next session. It was a great experience to be with a room full of missionaries. Just knowing vaguely what they have all sacrificed to be on a mission and how hard it is to have every moment of your day scheduled makes you really appreciate them. Our job is so easy in comparison! Some look about the age of Cade, 14 now, while others look 30 years old. It is the Americans that look so young while many of the Latinos tend to look older. They say it's the hormones in the chicken that make them age faster here. Don't know if that is a joke or not.....
Went to the store before our lesson in Santo Domingo Stake to find medicine I'm out of and a couple of other things. While we were getting a frozen yogurt we met two girls who were speaking English and are from the States. They are attending medical school here. The one said she had been a missionary here four years ago but obviously not an LDS missionary. She had worked in an orphanage four hours south of here. She loved it so much here she came back to go to school.
Just got home from the class. There were only six students there tonight. Which actually is so nice because you have more time to help those who are there. Our goth student looks less goth all of the time. She is so determined to learn to play that she comes to three different classes we teach. Tonight she said she wanted to buy keyboard. Not sure where she would get the money but you just don't ask those kinds of questions from nonmembers because their lifestyles are very different than ours. I don't know if she realizes that all she will know how to play when she is done will be LDS hymns. Hopefully she will be touched by the messages in the music we work on.
