Today was the first full day of working our assigned shift and we were assigned to a variety of areas, really getting an initiation!  The best part of the day was when Glade and I got to work together to help some Spanish patrons finish their session.  I loved it and it brought back so many memories.  I presented in Spanish and English from memory and felt that I had filled a need.  There is so much more to learn, but we’re in the boat and paddling fast!

Two friendly couples invited us to go to lunch with them as we were leaving the temple.  The drive was delightful and wound through narrow tree-lined streets bringing us to a Chinese Restaurant.  We saw two beautiful young deer grazing in someone’s yard very close to the street.  They were too big to be fawns (and it isn't spring) but were too small to be full adults.  They seemed really content and very tame.  I was sad that I couldn’t get to my phone fast enough to take a picture.  It would have been a much warmer and more pleasant photo than yesterday’s catch of the spricket!!

The temple grounds are so beautiful and it was hard to walk by the flower beds without taking more another photos.
