Saturday Jan 10th!  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!  2 MONTHS DOWN!

THOUGHT:  Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being.

So there you go - 2 months down and still a few to go!  Life has settled down considerably since the holidays.  The Olsons are now on their 9 days left here.  The Ellis's have 11 days.  We get the opportunity to drive both couples to the airport!  I am not sure who is going to be most sad!  Both the couples are sad to be leaving!  The Ellis's live in Logan so Spencer, you will have to go meet them!  The Olsons live in California by Disneyland!  We all will really miss them around here!
Today started off with another trip to the Temple for a meeting with some of the other doctors.  Greg is planning the May medical conference that he came to last year right before our trip to Cancun!
After the meeting we found our way to the hospital where the sister is that Greg sent yesterday!  She looks lots better - is getting IV antibiotics and has eaten some food!  She is cute!  I don't like it when the missionaries are that sick!  Luckily we don't see this very often.  It usually is diarrhea, stomach pains, stuffy nose, headaches, backaches and sore feet!  All the things that get abused during a tracting mission!!!  Most of these missionaries work really hard and try to do their best on their mission!  Some need a swift kick in the tushy!  We got home and had a nice relaxing afternoon, ate some dinner and had another movie night at the Andersons - Jewel of the Nile!  Wow those are old movies now!  Unbelievable how time flies!
I asked Greg to do one nice thing for me every 10th of the month!  Get me flowers for my anniversary here in Mexico!  Last month he blew it all together!  It took him until late afternoon to finally get the zeal to go get me some flowers.  He wanted me to drive him to the flower stand!  I refused and told him he had to put forth some effort so he walked down to the stand and got me some! I got one dozen red roses!  It wasn't very far so don't feel bad for him!
Hope all is well in your world!  Sure love you and appreciate all you have done for me over the years!  Also thanks so much for all the support on this mission.  I can feel it and I love it!!!

My 2 month anniversary red roses!

Sunday, Jan 11th -

THOUGHT:  "Don't shine so others can see you!  Shine so that through you, others can see HIM!"

Thanks Dotty for the thought and all the thoughts you send my way!

 Happy Sunday!  Church was all the same in the Spanish ward!  I wish they would speak English!!  HAHA!  I try to listen so hard, it makes me crazy after I sit through Sacrament meeting and Sunday school!  I have to go home and rest my weary brain!  I go back in the afternoon to the English ward for RS.  I really do enjoy being there.  The sisters in that ward are so amazing!  They are all from the states, most of them are young moms, and live in this crazy town for 2-4 years!  Then a lot of them move to some other forsaken place in the world!  I'm not sure I could have done that!  Heck, I struggled while living in Mesa for 11 years!!!  I do love good old Salt Lake City!   I put a turkey breast in the crock pot for dinner!  YUMMY!  It was great.  

I talked to Sister Sandberg - who came Dec. 12th  - about teaching some of us old women spanish!  She was born in the Colonies of Mexico and is fluent in both languages.  She has also taught spanish and english and she is older so she understands our old brains!  Our first class was Thursday and I had to sluff cause I went to Ceurnavaca with Greg!  So Sunday night I had a private lesson to catch up!  I am going to be rattling off spanish before you know it!!!!  I hope you all have a wonderful week!   Be happy and healthy!!
