Remember
The Softball Game? The one that didn't happen? The one that lead to a visit by the police? Yeah, that one. Well, second try was the charm, that and not trying to get permission, ...and some help from 'Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Scott' among others.
Just for those who were wondering, we did pay the multa (fine) but it wasn't bad at all. It actually does 'add to the story' for my cute husband so worth every centimo.
The second try had to be bigger and better of course. Elder Castillo asked his sister if she had any old mitts she could lend ...er send us. We were just a little late, her old ones had gone, but she got some new ones and sent them to Utah for the Deere kids to bring back after their summer visit.
Then we found a 'vacant lot' so to speak and set up another game as a late Labor Day celebration. We have a couple of first rate baseball players, but most of us are less than able. Still, everyone had a good time. See for yourself.

| First we had to warm up of course |
 |
| Some of us had to learn how to catch a soft ball. |
 |
| Next we picked teams, by month of birthday! |
 |
| Sister Deere Rocks! |
 |
| We were in someone's short cut. I love that both modes of transportation use it. |
 |
| Some people found this game rather amusing. |
 |
| Okay, it was funny sometimes. |
 |
| A good leader leads by example. Thanks Pres. Deere. |
 |
| Apparently there were some free hats in one of the apartments. They added a lot of comfort, if not fashion. |
 |
| Watch out! |
 |
| Go Team! |
 |
| There goes another one! |
 |
| It was a fun game |
 |
The guy in the tan shorts saw us playing and asked if he could join in... in perfect English.
We got his number afterwards. Not the first sports contact. |
 |
This is a Fig? There was a fig tree in the outfield.
In order to avoid another visit by the authorities, President and Sister Deere invited us up to the mission home for our barbeque.
Our president is a man of many talents!
We had a wonderful And Uneventful time.
YEA! |

So, I find myself, many times, doing a double take at the pictures of the groups of missionaries. It always seems to me that if I pay closer attention that I could recognize missionaries from a Missao Brasil Porto Alegre Sul, but it is not the case. And for some reason, the sister that seems to have her mouth open in all of the photos, smiling, seems to remind me of a Blau. It must be the long straight hair, and the aforementioned open mouth. Good quality for a full time missionary, though, so it isn't meant at all as a criticism.
I love the joy that you bring to your call, and am interested to know who the skinny guy in the red shirt is.
Love you lots!
Hello to the Castillos. I am Lanae Hooper, mother of Elder Hooper and friend of "Aunt Cheryl" who told me about your blog. I love reading about your adventures and love all the wonderful pictures! Thanks for your service and thanks for caring about all the missionaries the way you do. It is so fun to have an additional perspective on what is going on in the Malaga mission. did I mention I love the photos?
