On Saturday night we took Bart and Suzy Eames to dinner at Paprika - a very nice restaurant that offers a surprising variety (everything from a Mexican-style salad to a Thai curry/spaghetti entree) - and so far anything we've ordered has been very good. L/R below: Bart and Suzy, me, Lona Jensen (temple president's wife), Lynn Crayk and Diana Crayk. Bart and Suzy will be leaving for home on December 3rd, so this was a small despedida for them.
Last night we had a combined (Latins and North Americans) Family Home Evening. The carpet in the hospedje meeting room had just been shampooed so we had to meet in the comedor (the dining room). You can see we are quite a group when everyone gets there.
Our lesson was given by Elder Gironda.
All the different couples were asked to introduce themselves so President and Sister Jensen could get to know them a little better. At the end, the Jensens had their moment "on stage". Sister Jensen's Spanish is about like mine, though she may surpass me before long. They lived in South America for 11 years when they were younger, so she should have a much greater "well" from which to draw than I have.
These are the Benitez - they are our newest missionary couple, from Lindon, Utah. She is actually Bolivian by birth and he is from Ecuador.
This is what happens when a couple are getting ready to go home.
The Eames brought all this stuff for people to look through and take.
Hermana Monroy (green dress) and Hermana Arrazola checking out the stuff on the table. We were sorry the pairs of white shoes were too big for Farron; they would have been a handy addition to his wardrobe.
Lastly - a comparison of the flowers at the temple in the winter . . .
Notice too the difference in the color of the sky. I can't remember what time of day I took the winter picture, but this one was taken at 1:30 in the afternoon.
We can tell it's summer when we're in the direct sunlight - very hot - but in the shade the temperature is just right.
