         Today I’m grateful for all of my blessings.  Facing the hard things about any day can be eased by being grateful for each blessing we have, and the list is usually longer than we think.   I’m grateful tonight for a sweet young sister missionary who cautiously started a conversation with me while we waited in the baptistery together.  She is from Tegucigalpa and knows about as much English as I do Spanish.  But it was amazing how we seemed to really connect and we had a time talking together.  She was very kind and was a tender mercy for me today. 

         Watching people moved to tears during their experience in the temple always touches my heart and makes me realize how important this work is to them.  The environment makes it so easy to feel the Spirit and to share in part what others are feeling--another great blessing. 

         You can tease me again for talking about the weather, but it just seems to matter to me.  It is windy again!  There really was no wind last year for months after our arrival.  Oh, well.  It isn’t as bad as an Idaho wind, but still diminishes a hard-earned hairdo to naught in very quick order!

         Love and prayers to you.  Good Night!
