THOUGHT: "WHEN YOU DEMONSTRATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO OBEY, THE SPIRIT
WILL SEND YOU MORE IMPRESSIONS OF WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE
YOU DO." Henry B. Eyring
Oh! It feels so good to be home sweet home and not have to get up, get ready, pack up and jump in a van to get to a zone conference. It has been fun to travel and see so much of Mexico. I think I have seen more of Mexico than any one person that lives here in the country! I guess that's a good thing. I wish I had seen this much of the US. I guess when we get home I will make Greg take me to all of the parts of the US that I want to see. Anywho we were able to catch up on some stuff and get some errands done. We had to go to the Star Medica hospital and see a sick sister up in the north mission. The hospital was connected to a mall so we wandered around there for awhile. We had Chinese food for lunch - pineapple chicken and Greg had orange chicken. It was good I guess. I bought a new shirt at Sears (big deal). We then ended up at Walmart for some supplies and to get our car washed. Guys wash cars in the parking lot at Walmart while you are shopping. That is how we get our car washed most of the time. We bought some Halloween decorations and now I need to get them put up. We weren't home very long until we left again to go meet the Pococks, Smiths and Anthonys for dinner at Tony Roma's. The Pococks are leaving😩 to go home next Monday. We had a farewell dinner for them. They are a great couple and I hope we can keep in touch. They live outside Idaho Falls in Sugar City Idaho. Janey is a spunky little thing! We had lots of fun together. Best wishes to them. Dinner was nice and so was the company. It took us over an hour to drive home. The traffic was nuts tonight for some reason. Maybe it's like this every Monday night, we are just not out in it cause we are usually at FHE with our friends. We missed that tonight and I missed my Spanish class at noon today. I'm batting 100 so far. One happy thing that happened is that Scot face times us on Monday nights (well the last 2 Mondays at least) with Beckham. He has been fed, had his shower and is all bundled up in his cute little jammies. He is so cute. Sometimes he even looks at us and smiles. Good boy! He is growing way too fast and getting chubby cheeks and a double chin. Katie must be feeding him cream! I love seeing him once in awhile!!
Tuesday, Oct 13th Happy Birthday to my friend Laurel!!
Laurel is my next door neighbor in Salt Lake. She is such a great example to me of kindness and service. She is a very hard worker and a great mom and neighbor!!
I have been busy today catching up on the blog, ironing and decorating for Halloween. Early afternoon we went to a hospital in the Northeast mission to see a sick sister that has had a fever and diarrhea for 4 days. She looked pretty good and was feeling better. The hospital is in a mall for heavens sake. We wandered around, found the food court and got Chinese food in Mexico! It was OK. I had pineapple chicken and Greg got orange chicken. I even went shopping in Sears there and bought a couple of shirts. Greg loves shopping by the way! NOT!!! We finally pulled ourselves away from the mall and headed to Walmart. We frequently get our car washed in the Walmart parking lot. They tried to charge us about 3 times what we agreed to - like we forgot in 45 min the price we agreed on for the wash. We gave them some extra but it made Greg mad. I laughed.
I bought some Halloween decorations to liven up the place. Now I need to get things organized.
We got home and the Andersons needed a ride up to the church at 5:45. The Griffins asked us to go for a walk so we walked all the way down Palmas to the fruit and veggie store and then on to Quiznos
for a sandwich we shared. I am feeling old now that I have to share dinners with Greg! I better nip that in the bud!! The Andersons got done early with their meeting and we were nowhere by home to go get them. They ended up getting a ride with a sister. We walked all the way back home. Good exercise for someone that has been sitting for about 3 weeks straight! The Griffins invited us up to watch a movie - a Nicholas Sparks movie- The longest ride or something like that!

Our Area Presidency meeting was at 9 am this morning. Right after the meeting I asked Bonnie if she would color my gray hair. I got that done and look 35 years younger! HAHA! Greg did some errands and we both worked on projects we are doing for the afternoon. We went for another walk up the Pueblito to get some veggies with the Griffins. I invited the Andersons and Griffins over for dinner cause they are always so nice to feed us! We had ham, cheese, tomato and avocado sandwiches that had been in the oven and melted the cheese. They were a hit! Greg bought me some very beautiful roses for the 11th month anniversary we had a few days ago! John bought 2 movies for 20 pesos ($1.30) so after dinner we watched "Little Boy". It was a very sad, but very good movie. I don't ever want to see it again. Everyone knows how I feel about sad movies!

Today was a temple going day! Greg had to work in the clinic so we invited the Andersons and we went to the temple while Greg saw sick missionaries. The session was suppose to start at 11am and it finally started at 11:15. We got done at 1:30. There were only about 20 people in our session, but they like to move r e a l slow. Greg got done about the same time. The Stutzzneggers had to return a suit coat to Elder Anderson so they drove over to the temple. We met them and drove over to the Lindavista mall and had a great salad at the Crepe & Waffle restaurant. YUM! We stopped at the American store for the Andersons and got some chocolate pudding and rice chex. We barely made it home at 5:40 in time for me to go to get a pedicure with Sister Sandberg. Getting a pedicure in Mexico is quite the experience and I hope we don't die of some disease or another. It's been a busy day and I will sleep well tonight! We watched a movie and are going to bed early tonight!!

Today was temple day #2. Groundhog day! The session went well today. It isn't very crowded in the Temple which is a good thing because they need more temple workers to run the place properly.
We took the Griffins and Sister Rice today. Brother Rice had a meeting and couldn't make it.
We drove back over to the LindaVista mall for lunch at Applebees. The traffic has been horrible the past few days. I never find out why the traffic gets so bad sometimes! We didn't get home until after 4:30. We ended up watching another movie - or part of the movie "Grace, Princess of Monaco" We only paid 10 pesos ($.60) for the movie and got our moneys worth out of it - at least half of the movie before it quit working. We need to buy another movie so we can see the last half of the movie!
Memories!
