Here it is Tuesday - what happened to Sunday and Monday?? Guess they were just sad days for me thinking of the Wright family.When I heard that Sherie had only days to live I wrote a goodbye email and sent it to Kelly to read to her. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Sherie has been such a special friend and an amazing example of serving in my life. I just kept hoping she was right when she said she wasn't going to die because she knew she had something else on this earth to do. Kelly did send me Sherie's obituary and a letter from Tim to his mother that will be read at the funeral on Thursday. We really appreciated that kindness at such a difficult time for Kelly.
On Sunday we visited the Santo Domingo Stake for their conference. They had a member of the Quorum of Seventies from Haiti speak to them. Which was doubly confusing for Scott and I - him trying to decipher the message translated from French to Spanish - and me not having any idea what was being said by either one of them! They did have a choir though. The interesting thing here is everyone is so pleased to sing that singing on tune doesn't seem to matter much. So when they announce what will be sung you find yourself asking. "Was that really We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet?" There is so much to be done here with the music. We just assume at home that someone will be able to arrange for the music - here there are very few, if any, people familiar with leading the singing or playing the piano or singing on key. Scott found him a beautiful little girl to entertain during the meeting with his crazy animal drawings so he was happy. (Just needed some Smarties)
On Monday we tried to wash in our little washer/spinner machine but there wasn't any water.
