         Mondays are great because we get to exercise outside!  It was partly cloudy, almost hot, and a little humid; but it was great to be outside! 

         While Glade was out, he saw a man dressed in a white shirt and tie arrive at the gate in a taxi.  He paid the driver and sent him on his way.  He walked all the way up to the temple doors only to find them locked.  He sat down on a bench and waited.  Since he was still there when Glade came around some time later, he walked over to him and said “Hola!”  He found out that the man had come to participate in the temple not realizing that it was closed on Mondays.  He was quite disappointed that he couldn’t get in to do anything, that there were no workers there, and that he would have to return another time.  So he decided to walk around the grounds for a while before getting another taxi back home.  Perhaps the opportunity for pondering and meditating in such a beautiful and peaceful setting was just what he needed.  We felt bad for him, though.

         Pres. Amado told a very inspiring story in FHE tonight.  He gave us a copy and I wanted to share it here, but it is in Spanish and he doesn’t have a copy in English.  So Glade will have to translate it and then I can share it another time.  I’m still working on Spanish every day, but am still missing out on a lot.

         Have a great week, keep working on your goals, and “Be of good cheer”!   (That’s my advice to myselfJ)   Good Night, Everyone!
