The Spanish lessons went well today
and hinted at some measure of success with lots of repetition. Also, a caring sister spent some time helping
me with a few words and even found a paper and pencil to write them down. That helps since the spelling is necessary
for me to figure out the pronunciation.
It was “hair color” day and it’s so
nice to have that done!! I cut my own
hair this time and had to have Glade do a little trimming in the back where it
is awkward and out of sight. That was
scary! A diagram of the angle and the hoped-for
result helped little.
We met Sister Starkey near our
apartment as we finished our walk. She
had been gathering food and money to help a couple who had come to the temple
to be sealed. They had managed to save
enough money to get here, but had nothing left for food or bus fare back to
their home and were beginning to feel a little desperate. It’s hard to imagine that kind of situation. They had left their children at home.
Sister Starkey only had time to share a short
version of the story and had to hurry back to the temple and didn’t say where
they were from. There were two big
groups here today—one from about nine hours away and the other from Lima which
is near San Pedro Sula—about four-five hours away. Perhaps we’ll get the rest of the story tomorrow.
These pictures were from our walk this evening.
