Feb Fun

Well, I finally asked our finance officer and he showed me how to find my 'lost' photos, That means I am returning to some of our 'February Fun'.
Sister Bruna and I took a 'walk'.  The views were wonderful!

 
 
This is the view inland.

Aren't I stylin?

Sister Bruna, our branch Relief Society President

This is the seaward side.  There was a 2 hour walk between the two views, just so you know.

I just love being photographed you know.
 

One of the adventures of our traumatic transfer week was an Elder ended up having to spend the night at our place due to a travel snafus (not his fault).  Elder Castillo thought he looked like a puppet.  He is the first missionary that our residency officers questioned whether he was old enough to be here without parents. 

One of our AP's had a birthday

This was the farewell journal Rod made for our departing AP, Eder K.

Remember the broken umbrella photo from a couple of weeks ago?  Well, the wind got even worse.  I took this photo from our office window.
I think I mentioned our evening at a professional basketball game.  We went with this 'super man' and his mom.  We had a wonderful time.  His Dad was high point man.

'

Just yesterday, he became big brother to twin sisters.  We were astounded because the first one weighed 6lb 13oz
 and the other 7lb  5 oz.  Mom is a slender little thing.  We were glad they induced labor or Mom might have popped.
 We have had  home evenings with the kids of this family a couple of times before, but the parents never came.  Well, this week they all came and we had a fun time. They really love playing spoons.


Rod was tickled that we have a missionary  with the same name as our latest grandson.  Here is Grandpa practicing on one Jace in order to get warmed up for the one at home.
What a good Sport!

We want to thank Donnie, Katie, Daniel and all the others who read and leave messages on this blog.  Todd, your comments feel like letters and really should be answered.  We LOVE them.  We are so grateful for all of you who are helping our girls get used to being mothers of 3 while we are gone.  Yes, the babies won't really know the difference, but we miss having the opportunity to be 'in on' everything.  Thanks to all of you for all your support and prayers.  They have made serving far away from family so much easier.  We know that our family's needs are being met, and we are so grateful.

This is really your sister, and I want you to know I read your blog every week! I missed it when you got so busy a couple of weeks ago. I also want to tell you how proud I am of your blogging efforts (you have gotten so good with technology) and what a blessing it will be to have when you get home (not to mention the blessing it is to those of us who miss you so much right now!). Also, I am glad to know that a mission has not made your husband too serious. :) I love you and pray for you both! Have a wonderful week!

Ahhhh. I'm just catching up on blog reading! I love you, Mon and Dad! I'm glad you are warming up on your Jase holding because this baby loves to be snuggled. But I tell you, he calms me down. When Benny is screaming and going from room to room causing trouble, sometimes I just hold Jase and breathe. He's a special boy! Love you and miss you!
