         A major thunderstorm blessed us last night after I posted.  Thunder crackled and lightening lit up the sky as the heaven’s opened and delivered drenching rain to a parched city!  Maybe this will be the start of something good to ease the drought!

         We both enjoyed a fruitful day in the temple and loved this privilege to serve.  We watched people new to the experience approach it humbly and then embrace it with tender hearts.  There were also more missionaries and we can hardly believe that they just keep coming.  Talking to the North Americans is a treat for them and for me and their eyes light up when they hear English and we always exchange “Where are you from?” and “How long have you been here?”  Most of them are from Utah and very few are from other parts of the U.S.

         David took us to get groceries this afternoon and it was a fun break.  The remodeling of La Colonia seems to be finished and it turned out great!  Everything looks relatively modern and up-to-date and it was very comfortable.  We saw missionaries in the store, on the sidewalk on the way to the store, and even more climbing a hill near houses on the way back.  They are definitely out striving, searching, and working!

         Good night, everyone!  Sending love and prayers your way, as always.
