June 8th through June 14th

June 8^th through June 14^th:  Monday we did some grocery 

shopping so that I could cook Chinese for the Rays and the Roesberrys.  We had a nice dinner and then watched a movie.  We set up the projector and used the wall for the screen.  

Monday we saw this group of new missionaries across the street at the mission president's home.  They look ready to go to work.

Thursday we only had 2 buses and it was a very nice day in the temple.  Friday we had no excursions scheduled so we had invited all the youth in Oaxaca to come for a baptismal marathon.  It was great to see how they responded.  We had 100 youth come and we did over 2800 baptisms and confirmations.  It was a very fun day.  Saturday we had a session at 5:00am for one of the stakes here in Oaxaca and then we had 5 buses come.  It was a busy day, but we were able to accommodate everyone and there was a nice feeling in the temple.  Sunday, we went to church in the Violetes Ward.  This is one of our favorite wards to visit because there are many temple workers there and other members we have come to love and admire.  We had the coordinators meeting and the secretaries meeting in the afternoon.  One of the secretaries that I had sealed a few months ago said that she will never forget the feeling she had when I hugged her after her sealing.  She said she felt like she was being hugged by the Savior.  Way to make me cry, Lupita.  Short and sweet this week, but it is what it is.

Work Continues
