It has been such a rainy day - wish we could send some to Utah! I can see how living where it rains like this everyday would get old fast. We do have sunny days now and then.The neighbors in the little store across the street from us have been playing dominoes all day. That clap. clap, clap of the dominoes hitting the table is a sound I am not likely to forget. It's night time now and they are still playing. Guess they have nothing to do since they can't sell alcoholic beverages today - because of the election tomorrow and they think it will curb the violence. That's the best thing they have come up with here since we have been here. We were supposed to stay in today and just go to an hour of church tomorrow. Scott and I have really missed both our family and our ward family. Our assignment doesn't allow us to have a permanent ward. It has pointedly helped us to see how important a ward family is . Just like everything else in life, when you have it you don't realize how much it means, then it is taken away and you realize how much support and love there is in a ward that you now don't have.
The Ottosons came over this evening with - guess what?? Krispy Kreme doughnuts! We had passed a store once while traveling and thought it would be fun to stop but that was as far as it went. They are coming for dinner tomorrow. Their three girls are the ages of many of our grandchildren so it is much fun to have them here. They are leaving however this next Thursday to go to Sweden to look for a job. That's where Hans, the dad, is from. They have been such fun neighbors we hate to see them go. We were laughing about living in this apartment complex and experiencing much of the Dominican way of life - no water, no electricity, no traffic laws that anyone obeys, etc. What an education it has been to be here.
