Life can change very quickly. My Cuban sister is leaving tonight! Apparently one of the mission doctors saw her yesterday when she was having some difficulties, and decided, after consulting her other doctors, that she should fly back to Florida--tonight!
It was through a series of minor miracles that I learned this was happening. I was told she was too overwhelmed to have a visitor, but I am very glad I called to see if I could come to say goodbye. I sat in her apartment as she called a few people and rested up for her flight. One call was to her brother, and he and his son and daughter-law came to spend a little time with her. This provided me with an opportunity to learn that on my iPad I could copy an image from Facebook and save the image. Now I can show my friends here the picture of my Sweetheart and me in front of the St. Louis Temple on the day we got engaged!
Today was a good day, despite some left-over anxiety from yesterday, and then finding I had lost several files!!!! As I mentioned to one of the other trainers, I have heard that people rise to their level of incompetence--and that is how I feel at times!
One problem was resolved today when another person came to me and apologized--and I felt I needed to apologize instead! Anyway, it helped to get that resolved.
Because I am now starting my shifts so early I will only get to talk with my Sweetheart tonight. He sent me two videos, though, one is a lovely version of Away in a Manger, and the other a song by Julio Iglesias. I will be so glad to talk with him even though it will be brief as tonight is his shift at the temple.
