Antigua July 08

Antigua is always inviting. Here we are again at the old Santo Domingo Hotel built among ruins. Beautiful welcoming gardens with colorful parrots.I love these exotic flowers along the walkway.

Isn't this appealing...next to an old crumbling building.

Walking through the centro.

Courtyard of our favorite Jade factory and art shop.

Yep...I found one I could afford. My favorite was $1500. "The Harvest"
...much brighter than it looks in the picture.

Dad enjoying the volcano view from a little window of the bakery sandwich shop where we stopped for lunch.

Looking down the street from this little sandwich shop balcony.

It was a lovely day in Antigua!

Las Colinas Missionary Activity July08

This is the building where they played ping pong and indoor activities.Dad planning and preparing for a great experience.

Doesn't this beckon you to walk down this lane?

Countryside gardens on our way to Las Colinas.

We began with a service activity...in a well kept paradise for church activities.

Preparing a new flower garden spot...

See that volcano in the background! These were our playing fields.

This, of course, was a posed shot. But did make a basket after a few unguarded attempts.

They played hard and seriously.

Presidente y Hna

Preparing the district leaders to lead a sweet final district meeting.

Committ to BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!

Each district ended with gatherings under these pavillions, then personal time to think and write in their journals. It was a great day!

Most of our missionary pictures are on our Guatemala CCM site, but I wanted to add some to our blog to prove we are on a mission...not just playing. Dad with Elders Fuentes & Sologuren...2 great Assistants.
