         Wow, this last day before the temple closes for two weeks was extremely busy.  It was as if everyone had to come just one last time before the closing.  There were weddings, sealings, first-time participants, baptisms, and so many people wanting work done for family names.  What a great feeling to see the temple so full and humming with great work being done. 

         The Guesthouse is empty of overnight guests tonight and most of the missionary couples have left for their homes in Nicaragua and northern Honduras.  One presidency member couple will be going to Guatemala in a couple of days.  We will soon be “home alone” and holding down the fort with the maintenance crews!  It is easy to feel left out; but we can use the break and free time to rest, read, and relax. 

         We walked outside tonight after dark about 7:30 when the last of the people were leaving and it was actually quite chilly—the coolest walk we have had here yet.  It was breezy as well and felt just like we were in Idaho!  It made us realize how much we are going to miss this climate, even if it is warmer and more humid than at home.  (Aah!  The weather again!)

         Good Night!!
