Friday, July 19, 2013

          It was a busy day for us—which is good—with no down time, and that made the time fly.  It will be a busy morning as well.  When we were walking tonight, we saw a big bus pull in and unload lots of people including kids who will be doing baptisms for sure.

          We walked and talked down the hill tonight with a sister who is from San Pedro Sula.  She has voluntarily come to stay here with her brother and his wife for a year so that she can work in the temple.  She comes four days a week.  That is faith and commitment in action! 

          Glade likes to visit in Spanish with everyone he sees on our walks.  He has become really great friends with most of the guards who all want to improve their broken English to better their employment.  Glade was telling this particular one all about irrigation in Idaho from the sub-irrigation used in Plano (until sprinkling systems replaced that form) to the systems of reservoirs, canals, and ditches that bring water to the crops on the farms.  They rely on rainfall here for the crops; and as I mentioned several weeks ago, are concerned because there is not enough moisture for their crops.

          This will be our last morning to get up so early for a couple of weeks—the first session is at 5:30 so we have to be there by 5:00 a.m.  Good night, Everyone!  

Just one more picture--it always looks so beautiful that it is hard to resist a photo.
