Wasn't much to blog about last night. We had two lessons at the Institute then had the night free. Thought it would be nice just to spend the night at home and go to bed early so we would wake up all fresh and excited about another fabulous Saturday. We didn't quite wake up "fresh from a good night's sleep because about 3:00 am we heard this reverberating tire squealing sound followed by a very loud crash and flying debris. Jumped out of bed to look out the window and all we could see was the neighbors also trying to figure out what had just happened. Finally from the men yelling for help and the noise that the crash had occurred on our corner that is obscured from our view by big trees. There wasn't an ambulance so either there was no need for one or they were dead already. Scott came home from his early morning run and said there was glass and plastic car parts all over but he didn't see any blood so thought maybe they weren't hurt badly. I don't know how that could have been but anything is possible. Wish we could have seen the cars. That time of the morning people drive like maniacs (more so than usual).
Out lessons in the Las Americas stake went well. When we arrived at Los Melinos no one was there to let us in (normal) but just then a bus stopped beside us and all of these kids got out. They were all dressed up in white shirts and ties and dresses and had been to the temple to do baptisms. It was great to see the spirit they brought back with them. This is a young groups but they are so quick to learn - just lacking a bit of focus for long periods of time or even short periods of time! Love them.
At Hainamosa they were having a stake Primary party so we met in the Relief Society room. Thank heavens for air conditioners is all I can say. Today has been so hot and miserable. You are sticky all of the time even if sweat is not running down your back and off your head. May have to start carrying one of those sweat towels so many people carry on their shoulder here.
We were actually back by 7:30 pm - before dark. We don't have the second class at Hainamos anymore because they all graduated. Felix comes back and practices while we teach though. What a determine man he is! It was great not to travel that road in the dark because there are so many people in the street that you can't see until you almost run into them. They have bikes, cart, motos, cars on the road traveling with no lights. We are ever grateful for the Lord's protection. Time for bed for me..
