         Sundays are good and I have adjusted my expectations to include the fact that everything will still be in Spanish and I’m dealing with it better.  At least there are recognizable words and phrases now.  My kindle is still my best friend at church, however.

         Glade’s lesson for the High Priests went well and he really enjoyed the challenge.  It’s a good way to learn more Spanish for him and he has to prepare not only the lesson material, but to be able to direct discussions and answer questions. 

         The wind went down early enough this evening that we could take our walk around the grounds.  We have to get out early since it gets very dark between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m.  Missionaries and visitors were also out enjoying the beautiful grounds and panoramic view.

         We are missing our raspberries from the garden right now and hope the birds don’t get all of them.  Our work will be cut out for us next year when we try to tame our wildly growing grounds.

         We hope you have had a spiritual Sabbath and renewal of energy and commitment to living the Gospel.  Our faith and testimonies need constant nourishment and support.  I love reading the Ensigns and hope you are finding time to be filled with the spirit of the messages.  They are wonderful!

         Have a great night.  We send our love and prayers.
