          On this morning’s walk I heard a truck coming up the hill behind me.  It sounded and looked, from the front, like the one that brings the big blue water bottles for the temple and residence hall or the one with the open back that comes full of gardeners and groundskeepers.  However, it was neither but was filled with people coming to the temple in yet another mode of transportation!  Some of them were youth for baptisms.

          A message came to the temple tonight that Glade and I had been invited to a dinner for the stake choir at our chapel.  President Ocampo excused us early to attend.  It was a casual gathering but they had a very nice dinner with a salad, rice, bacon-wrapped chicken and a serving of pork all prepared by the stake president’s wife.  They served a typical dessert which is like our French toast, but is covered with cream.  Everyone is so kind to us and very considerate.

The  people who rode in the back of the truck are disembarking and
I couldn't believe how many of them fit into that rather small space.
They are not all shown in the photo.

Just another view of the back end of the truck.
