Pressing Forward

We have the craziest weather here. I have never seen it thunder & lightening so much & rain so hard. It is almost scary sometimes. It can be blue skies & the rain comes in so fast & then blows through right away. It usually, (but not always), has the thunder storms at night & the lightening just lights up the room. I love listening & watching it. I really need to buy an umbrella & carry it with me. You never know when you will need it.

The man that Rod was helping to teach is getting baptized next Sunday. We are really excited about that. That means that we will still be here in a year when he goes to the temple.

We went to our new ward today. There are 2 sister missionaries & 2 elders & all of them are Spanish speaking. Today was Testimony Mtg. & some of the people spoke Spanish & only 1 had an interpreter. Then Relief Society was an experience. The sister conducting would give an announcement & then another sister would translate. The whole meeting was like that. It took 25 minutes just to get through the announcements & good news minute. I had such a headache afterward but I guess I'll get use to it. There was sure not a problem getting sisters to participate. They are so friendly & humble & sweet.

The lesson in Relief Society was on Visiting Teaching so they had all the sisters go to R.S. & the Priesthood took care of all the Primary & youth classes. Rod taught the Young Women & the lesson was about journals. He had a really good experience with them. Our ward is coming to the temple to do baptisms next Saturday so it will be good for us to see them there.

Tyson was blessed today. It was pretty emotional for me to know that we haven't even seen him & we are missing that sweet experience. We don't regret being here though. We know we are where we are supposed to be & we are grateful for the blessings that Heavenly Father has given us both here & there.

We send our love to everyone!
