Today has been just like a regular P day! We got up early and drove down to Cuernavaca. Actually we drove about 40 minutes past the big city to a little town called Jojutla. We picked up 2 sister missionaries - Hermana Avila and Hermana V. I count pronounce let alone spell her name! Sister Avila is the granddaughter of Bro. Avila that Greg baptized 43 years ago! Greg just keeps finding connections to people that he baptized. We picked them up and took them to lunch at this really cool resort. This place was Cortez' home back in 1529! It was called Hacienda Vista Hermosa. I took tons of pics. We had a little struggle finding this place, but we are happy we finally did! Lunch was nice - except the food was just OK and it was quite hot (air temp) but we enjoyed talking to these 2 sisters! Cute missionaries!!
We drove around and found a big lake and took lots of pics of the towns we drove through!
We don't ever get a P day so we took the time and had a great day!
We got home just in time to eat a little something and get to FHE! The lesson tonight was on the 5 love languages! Since we all spend 24/7 with our spouses, I'm not sure the love languages are going to do much good for the next year!😜

This is a huge deep stairwell down to a basement!

The restaurant with this old wall and arch!

The pool!

It's hard to see, but this tree's roots are growing on the outside of that brick wall!

Tuesday, Apr. 28th Happy Birthday Dad! (would have turned 90 today)
Today has been a bit of a frustrating day! I thought I would be having a mellow day where I could get some things done that I needed to! Greg got a call from a Mission Pres who had a sick Sister in the hospital. We had to drive (1 1/2 hours) to the LindaVista Hospital to check on this Sister. Greg was able to visit with the Dr. and check on her. She has a lot of abdominal pain and will probably end up getting exploratory surgery to find out what's going on since all of her tests are normal! After checking her we went across the street to the mall and had a salad at Applebees. Then we got to drive back home! (which took us another 2 hours!)

Here are some more pics from yesterday!!

We were lost (of course) looking for the resort!
I like this little brick whatever! House maybe??

Just a pic!

Some homes!

A neighborhood

Lovely home up on the hill!

We got to drive back over to the Temple clinic today. Since Greg won't be here on Friday, he had to work in the clinic for a couple of hours. There are workers all around the temple grounds trying to get everything ready for the re-dedication of the Mexico City Temple in September. There is a big plastic cover on the angel Moroni! They must be cleaning him up! I got to visit with Sister Smith and Sister Pocock for an hour or so! That was a nice reward for driving over there again!
We tried a new way home and hopefully made it in better time than if we had gone the usual way. It took us 1 hour and 1 minute to drive home, and that was at 5pm.
I put more pics up from our trip to Jojutla.
