June 1st through June 7th:

 June 1^st through June 7^th:  Monday we went and saw the movie, 

“San Andreas”.  In Spanish, the title was Earthquake.  We then had a nice catered dinner in the waiting room at the temple and afterwards we had a very nice family home evening with all the English speaking missionaries in the temple.  Thursday one bus arrived after a 15 hour bus ride from Acapulco.  They stayed through Friday evening and did many family ordinances.  They only had 12 youth with them and they each did four sessions of vicarious baptisms in the two days they were here or about 80 baptisms each.   All the other buses canceled for Friday and Saturday.  The teachers union took over all the gas stations and nobody could get gas.  On Saturday the federal government flew in about 5000 troops and the gas stations opened back up.  Sunday was the election and there had been threats that the teachers would try and blockade the voting places.  They canceled stake conference on Saturday night and Sunday and told everyone in Oaxaca to only have one block of meetings in each building.  So we went to the church adjacent to the temple.  We didn’t see any problems, but then we were hunkered down in our apartment.  Everything seems fine today.  It was a very slow week, but the rainy season has started and we had quite a few good rain storms.  Thus only one picture of the rain.  

View from the front doors of the temple.  Lots of rain.

It looks like most of the walls on the inside are plastered.
