Surprise visit from Chencho!
Thursday, November 26, 2015
Happy Thanksgiving! Sweet Hermana Cook just couldn't resist not having a Thanksgiving feast in her home. The original plan was to just go out and eat some where. So, she bought a turkey and the rest of us married couples helped with the trimmings. I did the mashed potatoes and 2 pumpkin pies. I surprised myself with the crust I made. Usually my daughter, Laura, does the pies.
My post from facebook that day: Happy Thanksgiving to my family! We have been so blessed and are very thankful for every one of them. We are thankful for the blessings of the gospel and the blessings of the temple that keeps us together forever! Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us and although I cannot comprehend all that has been provided for us, I am grateful.

What an unexpected surprise this weekend. Chencho and Monika from Cordoba, Argentina made us a surprise visit. They were going to stay in the hostel at the temple, but the temple has been closed for 2 weeks and so has the hostel. Chencho's brother and his wife also came. So, we had guests in our apartment and it was so fun. We had no capilla abiertas scheduled and were able to play tour guide for them. They had never been to Punta del Este. They went to church with us and seemed to know people from Malvin. Monika served her mission in Malvin.

We had the opportunity to invite the Sequiera family over for a dinner with us. What awesome friends they have been. They were menos activos that we searched out when we first arrived. We could always feel their good spirits and we had hoped they would find their way back to church activity because they have so much good they could share with others. They have been coming to church now for 8 weeks! We have asked them to let us know when they will be sealed in the temple.
