Our second trip to visit the Mariposa's Feb. 16, 2010




This was a different place we went to see the butterflies which was north of Mexico about a two hour ride. It was worth it because we seen more butterflies there than we seen at our frist trip in January. The tree looks like a lot of brown leafs but they were packed with butterflies.

New Temple Presidency ...... I updated my Blog so please go to older post to see as far back as Nov. 2009






This is our new Presidency at the Mexico Temple. They are very nice and we love serving under their leadership. Also many buses again on Saturday Jan. 30, 2010. The count was 60 and many buses just dropped the people off since there was no room left in the parking lot with all the cars.

Good-bye dinner to our friends....



We enjoyed an Italian dinner with our Zerahemla friends which was
a good-bye dinner for the Directors of the Visitor Center...Elder and Sister Garvin's.

January 6, 2010...My Birthday






What a surprise I had from John.....He took me out to lunch with Dr. Brunt and his wife Diane and we bought a few things at a Mexican place that has 50 or 60 shops on a corner square block. We got home and I expected to relax.... when a knock on the door and John opened it and Dr. Brunt brought in two beautiful cakes and then John brought in a big round table and I asked him what was going on. He said a few people were coming over for cake. Many of them spoke Spanish so I asked them to sing me the Mexican Birthday song....and as they were getting ready I heard music and what a surprise John hired the Mariachi's for an hour....what a loving surprise....I had no idea!!! (sorry for the double picture....I don't know how to get it off without taking them all off). I like video but they take so long to do and sometimes I spend so much time trying to upload them that it's not worth it. If you don't see a video on my birthday it's because it canceled itself out.

January 4, 2010 Visit to the Butterflies




We had a fun time visiting the butterflies even though it was cold and we didn't see too many close up. Most of them stayed up in the trees way up high. The little boy named Felix adopted us and stayed with us so we could eat at his moms little restaurant. We all brought our own lunch so we didn't eat there but he was so cute and loving we decided to give him 40 pesos so he could buy a little something for himself.

New Year Eve I made Taco's for our Friends in the Zarahemla Building



We decided to to celebrate our New Years Eve with the great people that live in the Zarahemla building which is located on the Temple grounds. They loved my Tacos and we had a good time playing games and watching the fireworks on top of the building, however I didn't get good pictures of that.

Christmas Play and Dinner FHE at Vistors Center with all the Missionaries.






It was nice to be pick out to play Mary and John to play Joseph (even though were old) in the Christmas Play. The young Savior was a nice young man from the Ward and other missionaries played other parts. The older Savior was played by Elder Allen.
