Decorating is a family affair...so the teachers helped put up the three trees and decor...Hnas Fuentes, Chacon, Hnos Gonzalez, Mendez, Escobar.
We had a little tremor one night and this pile of spaghetti fell off the top shelf in the kitchen. Isn't this an interesting Christmas tree effect?
Our main level Christmas tree in the foyer.
Our Rexburg ward Primary children sent us a missionary package with these love notes...some from our own grandchildren. We loved it!
We are loving having a little time with our friends, Clate & Carol Mask, who are here as the new Guat Temple President & matron. We went to Antigua for breakfast at Don Rodrigos. We can talk for hours and never run out.
The Mariachi band at the hotel plaza. Such atmosphere and serenity. We just sat on the benches and visited.
Presidente Torres (wife in center) invited us to the National Orchestra & Folklorico program for Christmas. We enjoyed the company of Elder & Hna Martino and a little culture outside of the MTC.
Part of the folklore included a yearly tradition of burning the devil (Dec 7th)...which we watched outside the theatre after the program. Interesting to participate in other cultural traditions.

We have so enjoyed our association with both of you! I love your positive, happy attitude...no wonder the missionaries love you so much! I love sharing your mission with you through your blog...thank you for sharing!
Wonderful memories! I'm so glad you are able to reconnect with Clate and Carol.
Too bad that the spaghetti tree couldn't have been transported to an art museum. Very impressive!
Enjoy the rest of your time.
