Happy Birthday to Mike with a great new hat!

Tuesday, June 03, 2014

We helped in picking up the new arrivals (oros) this morning at the airport. They came in from the Argentina MTC. I love the hermanas!  They are so animated and excited. If the elders could catch some of their spark we would be "afire" with teaching the gospel.

We also had a little birthday fun for Mike.

I fixed a nice OvenBaked Chicken dinner with homemade strawberry vinaigrette
for the salad and cream cheese mashed potatoes along with an
apple cake that we shared with the Pugmire's and the hermanas

Hermana Zegarra gave Elder Burnett a hat to keep his head warm!

We lost our internet today because we forgot to pay our bill while we were gone.  It might be out for a week!  The kids can't call to wish Mike a Happy Birthday!

We visited with Pedro and Ema and brought the presents for Pedrito and Angel from Takoda.

They had a nice fire going in their fireplace and it was wonderful!

Loved the fireplace!

I am teaching Charo keyboard lessons in their home now.  She is really good and is picking up quickly.

Valientes return home. Hermana Berrios is one. She is one great lady and whoever marries her will be stepping up for sure!  On the other hand, Elder Cutler is also going home and what an awesome young man he is.  Any young lady would be lucky to have him as an eternal companion.
