We were up early to
drive about an hour to Las Piedras to do orientations
for Obelisco 1st
Ward and 2nd Ward. This building was huge! The have a soccer
goal posts set up
inside their gym! They have an upstairs,
main floor and basement.
Sunday school
started at 10 am. I got brave and did
our introductions in Spanish.
Tears always flow
when I talk about my family and how difficult it is to be away from them. But I want them to know that it is a
sacrifice for all of us and hopefully they will
be willing to
sacrifice some of their time for this Open Chapel as well. Here’s my Spanish:
Buenas tardes
hermanos. Somos Elder y Hermana Burnett. Somos de Utah. Tenemos tres hijos y tres hijas
y también tres indios apache que vivir con nuestra familia. Tenemos treinta y
un nietos.
Presidente Monson
quiere que su sirven para dos años. Es muy difícil dejar a mi familia pero
tenemos amor para ustedes y Jesucristo. Gracias por sus amor.
Mike’s part is
always wonderful. His enthusiasm for teaching them always shines forth. We
attended their Sacrament meeting and I played their electronic keyboard. This
one actually had the organ sounds that worked.
I think they enjoyed hearing the organ.
We were done at 12:30 and the other ward didn’t start until 2 pm and our
part didn’t start until 3 pm. We took a little drive around town and ate lunch in the van. The 2nd presentation went well too
except Mike was losing his voice from so much talking. We might have him record his voice for the 12
minute powerpoint presentation that explains the capilla abierta event. We also attended their Sacrament meeting. We
were on our way home by 5 pm. After a
long weekend, I had no clue what to fix for dinner. Elder Pugmire called us and asked us if we
wanted to come to Elder Hatch’s farewell dinner!
Absolutely! Dilemma solved. Elder Hatch stayed 6 weeks extra so that he
could help President Cook transition.
Elder Hatch served under 5 mission presidents. There have been a lot of changes in this
mission I guess. What a great assistant
to the president!
We arrived home around 10
pm absolutely tired! Busy, busy weekend!
