It has been a week filled with lots of joy and rewards.  Vino and Elder Meyers spent most of this week off and on filling out paper work and going different places to arrange for Vino to get his visa to America.  On Friday he had his interview with the USA Embassy.  He was so excited when he called us to tell us that all went well.  He can pick up his passport with his USA visa stamp on Monday.  He can hardly wait to get started as a missionary in California. His excitement rubs off on us!
Our air conditioner in the front room has been out for a month now.  We finally got the landlord to agree to let us replace it with a bigger size that will cool all the area that is open.  He should give us the money back when we do a new lease in July but President Anton says that he will tell you that and not always follow through.  We hope to get most of the money back but right now and air conditioner would be nice.  We have gotten used to the weather and the sweating without the AC but it is still a lot nicer to have the AC.
Elder Meyers taught inservice to the seminary/institute teachers on Friday.  Sister Kumari was unable to attend because she was moving.  Sister Sheron was the only teacher in attendance other than myself.  We had a nice meeting and lunch.  I made tacos.  She had never had a taco and she loved it!  She ate three of them.  She came at 8:30 am because that is when her husband went to work and left at 6:30 pm when he got off of work.  We had a fun day visiting.  She took a nap while we taught an institute class at 3 pm.
Tonight we went to President Anton and Sister Ann's home for dinner.  They had fried rice, potatoes with coconut milk, chicken in a tomato sauce, and ice cream for dessert.  We had a wonderful visit.  It was nice to see where they live and to feel the special spirit that was in their home.  They live in an area where about five houses are connected together.  All the people that live there are related to them in one way or another.  They also let people that are needing medical assistance come and stay with them free of charge.  Of course President Anton is a doctor and most of those people are his patients.  President Anton and Sister Ann are wonderful people!  I don't know what we would do without their help and assistance.  As we go to leave they walk us to the tri-shaw and tell us that they love us.  It's a wonderful feeling to be able to return, "I love you too!"
