         Since we were awake really early, we hurried outside to walk while most of the world was still asleep and avoided the treadmill one more day.

         It felt really great to be back in the temple and we just stepped right into the routine.  Thankfully, all the Spanish was right there in my memory proving to me how imprinted it is on my brain!  The number of patrons started out low but the trickle kept growing and by the time the last session started it was nearly full.  It was good to see all the friends we have made and I know we will miss them when we leave. 

         This is short and sweet with no pictures, but I have included a quote below that I ran across today, really liked and wanted to share.

            “(Mothers), cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.  …  Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are, better than you are, and better than you have ever been.  …  You are doing terrifically well.  The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you.  …  He is blessing you and He will bless you, even – no, especially – when your days and your nights may be the most challenging.  …  Rely on him.  Rely on him heavily.  Rely on him forever.  And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope’ ”  (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She is a mother”).

         Good night, everyone!  Love to you all.
