The temple was over-whelmed by patrons
today. Glade manned the front desk for
hours directing large groups of youth for baptisms, giving out fichas for the
afternoon sessions which filled early in the afternoon, and fielding zillions
of questions. At one point he broke his
reading glasses in half, sent someone to find me, and sent me hurrying to the
apartment to get him another pair. Age
really speaks up when you can’t read without those glasses!
As for me, I was thrown right back
into the middle of that river again in the roperia—giving out clothes for
baptisms and trying to field questions I didn’t understand. Pantomime, trial and error, and finding help
have become second nature and sometimes it’s pretty funny! Everything always works out somehow, so all
is well!
There were crowds of people on the
grounds tonight waiting for the last of their groups to finish. Finally, the buses pulled up for loading and
everyone climbed on board and settled in for their ride home. Some were from Tegucigalpa and others were from
out of town.
I like it when I hear that it's been busy:) Hopefully Dad didn't break his glasses out of frustration;) I'm proud of you for pantomime/trial and error. Great job mom! I was sad to hear you couldn't do your walking exercise outside. Can you at least still go for leisurely walks? Just don't look like you're exercising? It's so therapeutic to be outdoors:) Love you!
