Wheat must be like gold!

This past week we had our sisters brunch with the embassy girls. They had hygiene kits for us to put together for the rain victums. we did 50 kits. The girls said that they had found out where to buy whole wheat, it is not in the stores. We decided to go after 50 pounds to split up and share. I didn't know wheat was such a big item that it is under strict rules and heavy guards. We drove to an old volcano crater. As we saw it from the top it was filled with warehouses and silo's. We went down into it and as we came to the warehouse, we parked and only one person was to go to the window to order the wheat. We sent two. No camera's were allowed and no children even in the car. We got the order form, paid for the wheat then drove through an armed gate to get the 50 pound bag. We were not allowed out of the car so we popped the trunk, drove back to the armed gate where they checked the bag then left the crater. I have never seen so many guards with guns in one place. We were a little nervous and were glad to get out of there. We came back to the apartments to split up the wheat, only to discover that the girls got regular flour instead of wheat. The girls were so disappointed that they actually went back the next day for the wheat. I have just baked 5 loaves of wheat bread and Lon thinks that he has died and gone to heaven. It was quite an adventure for a bunch of grandma's. I can't believe how big the area was and there is no wheat flour in any of the stores. I wonder what they do with it? Anyway, there will be no pictures of the place but the bread is wonderful. Saturday was a very busy day at the Temple. We had six buses here at one time, I only got 5 of them in the picture though. There were people everywhere. It was a great day. Families come together on the buses (I think I probably road on some of these buses when I was a kid, they are so old) They bring the whole family and take turns watching the little ones. I have been asked to play the keyboard for Stake Conference the Saturday night session and play for the Stake choir. One of our embassy girls will be leading the music, the director and pianist have a concert then so they can't do the music. Lon and I are singing with the choir on Sunday morning. We haven't been able to practice with them till last night cause they have been practicing in another building and we have no transportation. The music isn't too hard, it is getting the words out that will be a challenge. It is good for me though, the more I speak or sing the Spanish the better I will be with it. Next Monday we are planning our monthly outing. We are going to a little town about an hour away and see the sights. It will be another adventure, but this time the men will be with us. It might be Tuesday before I get a chance to write and tell you about it, depending on what time we get home. We hope you enjoy a beautiful fall, we do miss the fall colors and the crisp mornings this time of year. We are doing great, walking 6 days a week, watching any of the college football games that we can get, and enjoying our time in the Temple with these loving, humble people. Thank you for your prayers. You are in our thoughts and prayers always. Love to all Lon and Nancy
