July 25th through July 31st

A picture I took off of facebook.  She is from Nebaj.

 July 25^th through July 31^st: This week was uneventful until Sunday.  Monday we went shopping with the missionaries.  Tuesday we had the evening shift.  Wednesday we had presidency meeting.  Thursday we had the morning shift.  Friday we took all the missionaries shopping again and then had the afternoon shift.  Saturday we went over early and did initiatories.  Sunday we went to church in our ward.  Mom had wrapped a small birthday gift for Sister Morris who is the wife of the MTC president and called to see when we could stop by to give it to her.  President Morris invited us to come over in fifteen minutes and eat lunch with them at the MTC.  We had not started dinner so we gladly accepted.  It was fun to eat with all the missionaries.

We then came home and worked on our talks for a meeting we had been invited to speak at in the Palmita stake for all the endowed members.  We went to our meeting and had a very nice experience.  We first talked and then separated the women with Chris and the men with me and we answered questions the members had about the temple.

We got home about 8:00pm and talked to a couple of our kids.  It was a very nice Sunday and we felt the tender mercies of the Lord.  Sunday marked the completion of the first 9 months of our assignment.  That is 25% of the time we will be here.  It has gone by so fast and we feel so blessed.  We love it here and only occasionally feel a little homesick.  Sorry I did not take many pictures this week.

Another picture I took off  of facebook. We love the pictures of  these beautiful children.
