August 19th Back from our trip to La Paz and Lake Titicaca

August 19^th:  Pres. Crayk had suggested we pick a ward in either the Cobija or Jayjuaico stake to visit.  We decided to go to the Cobija stake building and attend whatever ward started at 10:00am.  He told me to tell the Bishop that I needed a few minutes at the end of the meeting to say a few words to the ward. It just so happened, if you want to believe that, that the theme of the sacrament meeting was temples. Well, the last speaker didn’t show up, so I had more than a few minutes to speak and I felt like the Spirit was strong and had helped me a lot.  It is always a good feeling when you are talking and you see people wiping their eyes and you can see that they feel the Spirit.  We came home and had left over frozen burritos that I had made weeks ago and were in the freezer. 

August 20^th:  Today I woke up and said to myself, I want chicken wings today.  So we went to the store as soon as we were up and at it and spent over $100 on groceries.  We were out of just about everything.  I came home and started cooking.  We invited Pres. Crayk for lunch.  His wife is in Utah and it is his birthday.  We had a party for him in the evening with all the temple missionaries. 

Dad conducted the Birthday Party for Pres. Crayk.

We always seem to eat well.

Mom, Pres. Crayk and the Winkfields.

Here is the group.

Too bad Connie could not have been with us.

Sister Cortez made the cake.  It was the first cake she had ever made and Sister Ahlstrom had helped her.  She taught her how to turn on the hand beater and the oven.  She had never used either before.  She was so happy and excited about having made it.  Everyone had a great time and Pres. Crayk was a good sport to endure it.

She was so tickled to have made the cake.  (With a lot of help)

August 21^st:  We mopped the floors in the kitchen and bath today.  Mom did more washing.  I blogged for hours and worked on a new talk about the difference between the Laws of Men and the Laws of God.  We all went to lunch together to catch up.  11 of us went on the trip and 6 others went to Sucre and 2 just stayed home.  Now we are all back together.
