Well, I lied a little! Paradise for Greg would be an extremely busy day, being on the phone with someone (anyone) that has to do with missionary work! That does not describe Greg's day today!
On the other hand I got to go with Sister Martineau and Sister Harrison - who is president and counselor of the English speaking Relief Society! We went to Lindsay's house (don't know her last name). We cut baby blankets out of fleece again like I did in December. We made about 200 of the blankets. There is a group called the Newcomers. Not everyone is LDS so it was very fun to meet people that live in Mexico by CHOICE! HAHA! Kathy Harrison was telling me she went to deliver the baby blankets to the hospital where there are about 20-30 babies born a day the last time they made them. The babies were in the beds with their moms and wrapped in towels. Kathy said when the mom takes the baby home they wrap the baby in newspapers. Sad! I think of what we do when a baby is born to our family! We are so blessed to have been born where we were and how amazing out lives have been. Think if you were born down here or out in the middle of nowhere. No matter how bad our day is - it is 10 times better than most down here!!
I got back from our service project just in time to get Greg and walk down the street to the new taco shop we are going to try with the Andersons. The taco shop was just OK! We will probably go their again, but not on a regular basis! We spent the afternoon shopping at Chedraui! I have complained about this before - I get a recipe off Pintrest that sounds good so off we go to the store to get the ingredients! Well, not so fast! I got about 1/2 of the things I need. I am improvising on some recipes so we shall see how that goes! I guess I can manage for another 14 months but it would be nice to get a few things that are familiar! I spent the evening working on a project that is almost done!!! Let's all pray that Greg has a much busier day tomorrow or I will have to find somewhere else to go!!!
It was a good thing I went to do the service project. When I got home the dishes were done and I had my 4 month purple roses were on the table! Good job Greg!!!

TODAY IS THE 1/4 MARK OF OUR MISSION!!!
THOUGHT: "EACH DAY PROVIDES IT'S OWN GIFTS!" Marcus Aurelius
I"m not sure how we have done for the past quarter of our mission! I know when this is over we will look back and say whew! that went by fast!.. What did we accomplish????
Greg has been preparing for his talk at the Mission Presidents meeting in April. Also, he needs to talk about diabetes in the big medical - service doctor meeting he will be hosting in late May. So he is busier today than yesterday. Not to many calls from sick missionaries. I guess that is a good thing.
I was ironing yesterday and put the iron down on a shirt of mine and it instantly dissolved into a big hole! 😂 So today, I made Greg go shopping with me (ugh!) to get a new shirt or something. After 4 1/2 months I am tired of the clothes I brought. We did go shopping and I was able to find a couple of shirts and skirts to buy! Greg probably won't take me shopping again any time soon! He owes it to me due to all of the money I have saved for him since I got here!
Greg found some missionary stuff to do and I made a new chicken recipe for dinner. I am taking lunch to the Smiths and Pococks on Friday, so I am trying recipes out now!
I went to my English/Spanish class that we have on Wednesday nights! Some people from the Spanish ward meet with us at the church and we work together on learning languages! The Spanish speakers help us learn and we help the Spanish speakers learn so it is a win- win deal! We all have a
good time together and we are getting to know each other!
Got home to watch the Jazz lose to Portland and went to bed!
Nos Vamos!
Tomorrow Scot and Katie find out what kind of little human they are having! Think blue!!! (but we will take whatever we get!!)
 |
| Big hole in my new shirt! The material is stuck on the iron and gunk on the ironing board! What is this material??? Plastic?? |
 |
| My purple roses for the 22nd! I get roses on the 10th and 22nd of each month! |
 |
| The maid comes and cleans our place - which is very nice, but they go to wash the towels and sheets and leave their nasty carts in our room for hours! Oh the problems I have!!!! |
