          No news today except to share a lesson in perseverance.  Another landmark was reached as I was able to “certify” in two of the three remaining areas that I lacked.  In other words, I have memorized and “passed off” in Spanish two of the three parts for the last ordinance.  The one I’m still learning is long and it may be a while before it is mastered.  When I started reading the cards, or at least attempting to read them, in Idaho Falls last April, it felt like a total impossibility.  I couldn’t even pronounce the words.  It has taken a long time and hours and hours of practice, but success has actually happened!  I have a feeling that the words are imprinted upon my brain, never to be forgotten!  I’m grateful for the blessing that promised success and a way to achieve it:  “through faith and diligence”!
