ONE MONTH DOWN!!

The Christmas Tree at the Benemerito!
I'm not sure whats up with the big wall painting behind the tree!


"As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always. We shall learn to forget ourselves. We shall turn our thoughts to the greater benefit of others" (Thomas S. Monson, "In Search of the Christmas Spirit," Ensign, Dec 1988

Wednesday Dec. 10th -    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!    Guess what kids?  One month down and only 17 more to go!  Enjoy your peace and quiet!  I know some of you are! 
Today has been another fun day.  We (I) drove up the the Benemerito- the old church school that has been transformed into the Mexico MTC!  I just love hanging around the Elders and Sisters that are there!  I loved hanging out with the missionarios at the MTC in Provo too.  The spirit is so sweet around them!  Laurel, you are going to just love having Isaac home!  These kids are happy, excited, dedicated and ready to learn and work for the Savior!  It really is amazing!  We got to see the clinic at the MTC and talk to the doctor there.  This MTC is 90 acres of heaven in a poor/bad part of town!  We also got to eat lunch with them.  It felt good to be in a little bit of heaven for a little while!
This afternoon we celebrated our anniversary by getting a new Internet line put in our place!  Maybe now I can get this darn computer and especially this blog to work!  I told Greg that he owes me flowers the 10th of every month for the next 17!  He didn't get me any today!  Hummmmm!
Tonight we are putting up our Christmas tree!  I don't know why we have been dragging our feet!  But it will brighten our little place here!  I'm still going crazy cause I don't have any windows in our place that actually look outside!  I have no idea what goes on out there!
Hope you holidays are happy!   Love you tons!
PS we didn't decorated our tree until Thursday......




I took a pic out the car window of MTC grounds and Elders!

Dad took a pic of the trainers
not the Elders and Sisters

Group of newbys studying on the lawn

On the drive to the MTC Greg said "there was a big B
on the mountain for Benemerito
That is one OLD B!

See how the houses are built up the mountain!
When Greg was here, those houses were all made of
cardboard and tin roofs that washed down the hill
in the rain!
The sewage also ran down the streets!

Me and my friend Rosario in the cafeteria!
She goes home Jan 22 to Logan, Utah
with her husband!



Greg out on the patio hobnobbing with the missionaries!
They love to talk to us ( especially in English)
I am a bad influence, as usual!
