Daniel's birthday in the D. R. is on January 21 a day of " La virgen de Altagracia!" a Big Holiday. It is so nice because at least that one day he does not have to work right? not a chance. He had to work on some papers for the Elders who are going to have some important meetings but eventually in he afternoon he was free to take a fellow from Salt Lake to dinner while he is visiting the DR I was not going to go to it because I thought it was work related but when I saw another wife going I got ready real fast; after all it was my husbands's birthday. We went out to a restaurant on the beach in Boca Chica, about 40 minutes from Santo Domingo. Driving that far you hope it is real good and it was. This was the perfect setting to have the waiters come to sing happy birthday to Daniel so when I told our waiter we were celebrating my husband's birhday he immediately said NO I don't like that! ok that was akward, but I understand his point of view, this was supposed to be a meeting with this fellow and not a celebration of him turning 59. I have learned to accept him being a little shy and not at all like my family who turns every birthday celebration into a huge party and a big deal!
