          Glade bounced back fast and was right on track today.  After our temple shift he even went to the fitness center to swim, etc.  That is good!

          We worked with another group that stayed all day and will be here again tomorrow.  I love working with them through one step after another.  By the end of the day, we feel like old friends--or should it be new friends?  

          A very kind man who is a sealer and worked opposite me today at the end of the session took time to grasp my hands and voice a compliment and share appreciation for the success of the experience.  That is another one of those blessings that gives me such a lift and will keep me going for a while.  It was a small gesture on his part, but it meant the world to me and made me happy.    There is a lesson here-- that we can each make a difference in someone’s life by giving a little genuine recognition and taking a few minutes to be kind.  I will always remember his kindness to me today.

          Krizia came again this afternoon for a Spanish lesson and we walked through the temple grounds identifying everything in sight and writing descriptive sentences.  She also is such a kind person to initiate this interaction.  From the temple, she walks 15 minutes to a bus stop; waits for the bus; then has a 45-minute ride to her home.  All I have to do is walk across the street.  I pray she will be blessed for her sacrifices.

          Love to everyone and Good Night!
