I Get Audience Participation from some Primary Children!

Saturday, July 11, 2015

What other work do we do on Saturday except our wonderful Capilla Abiertas!
This one was in La Paz.  We have really great weather considering it is winter.  It is so different than last year.
La Paz did a beautiful presentation for their capilla abierta. All of the organizations did exceptionally great things. They also brought their friends and family members. It was busy most of the night.  Two little brothers probably ages 6 and 4 brought their grandfather. They were so proud to have him their at their church. He was tugged around all night!

15 minutes before we start, we invite the members into the chapel for
an opening prayer. The Bishop conducts. 

The children come in their Sunday best.

This was the best display I have ever seen done by the Elder's Quorum.

Baking skills were the highlight of this Relief Society display.
They had to use the kitchen and they did a beautiful "make-over" job.

Our great hermanas.

We did our capacitacion in Canelones and brought the Ness' and Andersons' with us.  It is always nice to share our Uruguay travels with them.  

We arrived a bit early so we toured the town a bit.
Every town always has a central plaza.
This was the biggest monument placed in a plaza that
I have ever seen in Uruguay.
It is a woman dressed for battle.
She represents protection for their flag.

The teacher for our Relief Society class.

 

                     

I always begin and end our presentation.

I had audience participation today, up front and personal!
My story includes a picture of La Tortuga and El Conejo.
 I asked the question, " Who wins?". La tortuga
o el conejo."  He came right up front and pointed to La Tortuga! 

Mike always gives the major part of our training, aided by a powerpoint
presentation that the area gave us. I did modify it a bit. I added some
uniformity and some background music and a video clip from Elder Ballard.

Another young participant today. Her name is "Milagro" and
she wants to give these invitations to her 3 non-member friends.
