           A “trip to the beauty salon” right here in our apartment yielded a haircut and color cover-up for me (No, Glade didn’t do it. J)  I did a better job this time, but it took forever!  Can’t wait until Jenn can do it again and I’ll happily pay her whatever she asks!!

          Rain, rain, and more rain this afternoon made it feel wonderfully cozy in the temple.  There is supposed to be a bigger storm during the night.

          I worked with a young sister for a while this afternoon and thought she was valiant to spend her time serving in the temple at such a young age.  Later in the evening, she was visiting with Glade and a couple of other people at the escritorio.  It was surprising to learn that she is a dentist and is doing an internship here in Tegucigalpa which means her training is completed and she is working for a year in a public venue without pay.  She can only be about 25 years old, is shorter and smaller than I am, and has such a young-looking face.  She just doesn’t look like a dentist!  She has helped with the dental health service projects that bring people here from the U.S. and is preparing for another group coming in October.  She also helps the young missionaries out by doing their work for them in preparation for their missions.  She is serving so beautifully and at such a young age.  I really admire her and her goals.

          Jeff sent a link to the real mormonad that includes this scripture with that awesome picture of the daisy amidst the roses: 

“For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”(1 Samuel 16:7)

Click on the link and it will take you to the picture and the scripture.  I loved this.  Jeff said the one he posted is actually a parody made by BYU's comedy group Divine Comedy.  Anyway, I still liked them both!
