I'm starting early today! Didn't want to forget about the cop driving a motorcyle on the freeway with a man sitting behind him in handcuffs. His hands were cuffed behind his back so he must have realized if he tried to get off he would be in big trouble. That was the first cuffed man on a moto we have seen. Just in front of them was another moto with two guys and a cop on it. We figured both of the bikes must have been stolen and they were taking them in. The moto bikes are the means of many robberies here so they have been checking their registrations and ownership because so many of them are stolen. Just when I didn't have my camera! The sights you see here are just so interesting....
We were in charge of a FHE group for tonight and were doing salsa and chips and cookies for refreshments. We decided to have everyone choose their favorite hymn then come prepared to tell why it was their favorite and either sing it themselves or have us as a group sing the song. I have never been at a meeting where this was done that it wasn't very touching. It ends up being a testimony meeting through the hymns. And tonight was no exception.. Scott chose our song as I chose last time. He decided to play "Be Still My Soul" and "More Holiness Give Me".on the teclado. It was so neat to hear him play and know that he has taught himself to do that while we have been here. Knowing it has kept him sane at times, I am very grateful he chose to learn to play. The couples in our group were:
The Johnsons from Park City, Utah
The Schmidts from Layton
The Ewells from San Bernidino, CA
The Despains from Smithfield
Couple from one of the islands
The Haws from Mesa, Arizona
The black couple came from one of the islands to stay for three weeks during their vacation time to do temple work. They speak French, English, and Spanish.
All in all it was a great evening. The Wegeners were here from Santiago so it was great to see them again before we leave. The Crismons are back after she fell and broke her hip here in May. It was so good to see everyone again.
Elder Ytrralde, who is always running into something with his car, now has some kind of a line under his car tied up with one of his white temple socks. He must find every bad hole in the road - which isn't hard to do. Scott is always teasing him about his driving because he just gets his car out of the car hospital then runs into something else out there in Quisquea where they help with a branch.
