It is Saturday morning 8:15 am.  I just finished breakfast of a bowl of Raisin Bran and a small dish of papaya.  The raisin bran cost $13.90 tala (They use the same $ for tala as we use for dollars) which is $5.69 American.  I know I'll lose weight because I can only afford 1 serving.  I was planning on going to town and shopping around for a little home decor, but it's a gray rainy day.  I'll do a little housekeeping until it clears up.
     It's been a hard week at the clinic and from what I hear it won't get any easier.  I saw a 6 year old boy yesterday and he about raised the roof when I gave him a shot.  It's hard to reason with them when you can't speak the language.  Most speak enough english to get by but none of the children.  I have an assistant sometimes, which is not most of the time.  Our part time receptionist, Emmo, has a nephew about 14 ( I can never remember his name so I call him John).  I'm slowly training him to help out.  He speaks no English so we communicate be pointing and grunting.  He's a cute kid and he seems to enjoy hanging around so I thought we might as well put him to work.
     I went to the temple last night and enjoyed it very much.  It's beautiful inside and out.  The original painting of the missionaries landing in Samoa is in the entry.  It's beautiful.  The same painting was just placed in the Bountiful temple.  The temple president spent a few minutes with me telling me about the painting and the people it represents.  Have a nice weekend and stay well.
P.S.  Joan is getting better and is about ready to go home.
