          Last night my ankle was much worse—the swelling was back and new bruising showed up—so I opted to stay at home today.  Glade gave me a blessing and I kept it elevated at night and as much as possible today.  It was better tonight.  I was just too impatient to get back to my responsibilities and didn’t give it enough time to start healing.  I studied most of the day.

          Thunder rumbled and lightning brightened the dark skies as we climbed into bed last night.  It rained, but I was disappointed to not hear it drumming on the windows.  I love rain storms.  Honduras thunder doesn’t sound like Idaho thunder, though—Glade thought I was crazy, but it was not the same.  It was, however, in some way comforting and I enjoyed the storm.

          In some places, the storm was severe enough to affect temple attendance today and the numbers were lower than usual.  It was good for Glades’ back and he had a pleasant day. 

          A pair of missionaries cornered him while he was out walking and asked him to accompany them on a visit tonight to show a film and give a lesson to a lady they are teaching.  They had a bit of a walk, but it is always worth it when you are sharing the Gospel with someone.  They really appreciated him going.
