Dearet friends and family,

Thank you for lots of Happy Birthday wishes.
It is 6:00pm and dark clouds are all over.
Evan went for a long walk and he had to take his unbrella!

They went to another employment meeting and I stayed home again. And guess what, I was able to go to the Temple to have lunch, all by myself. It is so complecated but with Evan's instruction, I was able to go all by myself.

We have to take the elevater to T(Ground level) Then walk to the other building (they all look exactly the same!!!) and take elevator to I level. then cross the street on the crossing place  and walk to the temple. My first trip all by myself!!!
Then stopped by at the Japanese store after that and got Tofu.

Tomorrow is the last day for the class. That means the last day to sleep in. Evan said it was so long and boreing!!

Our clothes dryer was broken and the guy came to fix it while Evan was not home. I finally figured out that he is getting a new one from the next door and exchanged it. Trust me it was not easy.I did not understand one ward!!! Amazing isn't it? I asked him to write down what he was saying. I can ask that much but no idea what he wrote.

Evan stopped by at the Japan town after the class and got tons of our favorite cakes.
I went to the temple and requested rain in Nevada!!! So you will get it soon!

Evan said the taxi driver who took them to the class told them that this is very unusual summer being so cooler.
Thank you Heaqvenly Father for this weather!!

I tried to memorize one phrase a day. Today I learned "Cheira tao bem!" (It smells good!) I did find the very last gardenia today and of course picked it even though there were so many other people around!

Well, I miss and love you tons!!!
