The Temple closes for two weeks in January for cleaning, the workers have already started cleaning the outside, checking the gilding on Moroni. We have some plans to take advantage of the dry season and the Temple closure to hike up Pico Duarte. The hike will be a three day trek from about 3000 ft to 10,000 ft. It will be cool, near freezing at night. It will only get interesting if it rains because the trail gets muddy. After that we will have two nights at Puerto Plata, on the north coast. That will be with some other couples. We are already starting to see some of the couples we work with here heading home, the Swapps leave this week and the Atkinson's in a month.
The group of missionaries from Haiti left this morning by van for the Port Au Prince Mission. They are excited to get started, I enjoy them very much and will miss them.

I am pretty sure I already left a comment on here, but it is not showing up. I am really jealous about your hike. You will have to tell us all about it. When do you go?
