          According to Wikipedia, September has more rain than any other month of the year in Tegucigalpa.  We have felt the change in the weather as it has rained nearly every day for about a week.  The mornings when we walk have been sunny and warm.  Then the clouds gather and the rains begin mid to late afternoon.  The storms are noisy and light up our dark rooms at night through our huge windows.

          Sister Amado stopped by our apartment on her way home from the temple tonight to give me something another sister had left for her to give me.  It was a chocolate truffle-like wrapped candy with this note tied around it:

          “Dear Sister Peterson.  This is nothing, but something to tell you Happy Grandparents Day!  I’m glad to know somebody like you—willing to give your time, smile, and love to us.  You are just a great Grand Mother!  With Love, Hermana Rosalinda.”

          What a special thought from a sweet sister who took time to recognize and respond to a missionary grandmother who has left loved ones behind to be here.  As you can imagine, it really made my day. 

The blessings from this mission experience that Glade and I are having are flowing and our hearts are filled with gratitude every day.  I hope that you are looking for and recognizing the hand of the Lord in your own lives every day as well. 

Love you all so much!
