THOUGHT: "KEEP YOUR FACE ALWAYS TOWARD THE SUNSHINE-
AND SHADOWS WILL FALL BEHIND YOU!"
Richie - happy birthday today! 29 years ago today was a great day because I had you!
Today we got up and had to drive to the south mission to see some sick missionaries. Greg was able to see 3 or 4 sick missionaries, but the one we went to see didn't show up. He didn't know about the meeting! Ha! Welcome to Mexico! We left and drove around the south part of the city. We drove past the Olympic stadium and the University of Mexico which is a huge campus! Very nice! We decided to go to the Ciudadela to get a tablecloth on the way home! Well, guess what? Yep - we got lost and couldn't get on the right road! It took us an hour to get to where we wanted to be! I took pics of what lost looks like! We haven't been lost for a few days so life is improving! We finally made it and got a tablecloth! You all know how it is shopping with Greg! He is always in a hurry and down here - there's no place to go! I will never get him to calm down! We struggled through the traffic and made it home! We had a quiet evening, enjoying face time watching Richie and Mitch get surprised for their birthdays. Mitch's is on Sunday! All of my kids were together (YAY!) for the party of pizza and fast karts! They had fun and we had fun watching them! Thanks Sara for the face time!

| I told Greg he had to take 3 pics on the drive home from Xalapa! Here is #1 - a pic of this mountain! |
 |
| Pic #2 by Greg Pic #3 didn't turn out! |
 |
| There must be another Guadaloupe celebration going on! People are walking and biking again to the city! Also people decorate their trucks, bikes, cars, bodies with Guadaloupe pics, tinsel, glitter and flowers! |
 |
| Trying to get home from Xalapa! It's hard to see, but there is a big bus sideways in the intersection! It is trying to turn right. It has to keep backing up and going forward a little This holds up traffic for a good 15 min! It happens all the time! |
 |
| Anyone want some chicken? |
 |
| We were stopped at a light and this church was outside my window! I love the cathedrals here! |
 |
| OK we got on the wrong road coming home! The big main road is over the left wall and we can't find a way over there! Except Greg and his crazy luck - we kept driving down this lonesome road and it came right out onto the freeway where we were suppose to be! I use tons of faith listening to Greg! |
 |
| Yes! This is what lost looks like! We have no idea where we are! |
 |
| Another lost pic! At least that is a nice street over there! We are sure we are getting closer now! |
 |
| We don't know what this arch is for! It is very colorful pots with plants growing out of them in an arch! Go figure! |
Friday, Feb 13th
Today was a calm and manageable day! We had Temple clinic at 10 am. We saw a lot of cute missionaries that were sick! I love hanging out with them! The Pococks came to visit us! They live next to the temple clinic! They invited us to come up to their place for lunch after we were done with the missionaries! So yes we went! She is such a good cook and we love to visit with them! She made yummy chicken enchiladas, rice and salad. We had some yummy popsicles for dessert. these popsicles are popular down here. They are made with real, fresh fruit and cream! Nothing better!
We finally got home through the traffic! At 5:00 all of the couples met in the lobby and went to a very fancy steak restaurant called Loma Linda for a nice Valentines Dinner! There were 16 of us! Greg and I ordered Filet Mignon and a salad to share! We got one of those wedge salads that could have fed the whole bunch of us! We all forgot we were in Mexico for a little while! Very nice time!
Te Amo!

| Here we are at our Valentine dinner! The couple in front sitting across from each other is our mission president! President & Sister Whitehead! Every once in awhile they squeeze out time to be with us! We are on the right side half way down! |
 |
| The Andersons took the dinner pic and to be funny sent one of them as well - so I put it in! Elder Anderson reminds me of my dad!!! |
