          Another cold front moved in and the expected high temperature for today was 68 degrees, the low—52 degrees; and the current temperature is 59 with a pretty good breeze.   It is probably colder than that here at the temple since we are so high and are usually a few degrees cooler.  I really needed a sweatshirt when we went out to walk tonight and couldn’t believe that it would ever be this cold in Honduras.  (Sorry—I have been accused of always talking about the weather; but it affects the day and adds variety to the sameness of our routine.)

          Glade and I led a session that was nearly all missionaries and it was great to see several pale faces and blond heads among the Latinos.  Some of them seem so very young and you can almost tell how long they have been in the field by their countenance and demeanor.  We just love them!!

          There is still a lot of traffic with buses coming and leaving at all hours bringing people for long day trips or overnight stays of two or three days.  Watching those leaving tonight climb onto a cold dark school bus knowing the seats were straight and hard made me so grateful that we only have to walk across the parking lot to our “comforts of home.”  These wonderful patrons have faith and they know sacrifice.
