Lovely time at church after not having it for two weeks!!

OK well its hard to keep up with my Blog since time is scarce. But I think this is the last picture we took of how we looked at Church last week. We were met with sanitizer and a mask to put on.
A senior missionary sister that lives in our unit was assigned to speak in Sacrament meeting and had to wear her mask which kept falling off her nose so she kept pulling it back up. She is a very beautiful red head and she did a marvelous job speaking Spanish. Today we only were met with the sanitizer for our hands, and I'm so thankful for that blessing.

Mexico City and "The Mask"

Well this is what we look like lately since the President of the Temple said we need to use are mask and not to shop if we can help it. Also we need to wash our hands before and after using the "bano" The Temple is closed but we are still receiving instruction..... that is us Missionaries only. Well at least were doing something rather than just sitting around in our apartment. I hope they contain it soon since I hear it is showing up in different parts of the world. We feel good but it is very hot outside, so thank goodness we are inside an air conditioned Temple. We love our mission and pray we can get back to work and serve the people of Mexico.
Oh by the way the other masked Mexican were holding is "Flat Stanley" from our dear little Kennedy Magalhaes.
My sister sent me this message today May 20, 2009 about flat Stanly below:
"Donny and the kids were here and they were very excited Flat Stanley made it back yesterday the 19th, and the teacher as well as the kids were hysterical to see Flat Stanley with the mask, that was just a hit!!!! that is all they talked about."

Sister Molett..... May 1, 2009

This sister Molett reminds me of my mother not so much in looks but her grace and mannerism. She is an elegant women and we work together in the Temple. She was over to demonstrate skin products for one of my neighbors that speaks mostly English so we had fun listening to her explain her unbelievable product. We also got a treat as she danced for us. Just like my mom selling herself and making money from her example of beauty. My mom always took great care of herself and I miss her very much. I can't believe it's approaching a year now that she's been gone.

The Temple Presidency , Christensen's and Us

We were all together at "Family Home Evening" and we all wanted to have a picture taken with the presidency of the Temple. They are all great people and we enjoy serving with them.

Darla of "The Little Rascles"

I had to show you all who Our Darla was named after. It started like this.....I was pregnant many years ago and Deanna was a little girl at the time when she said
" since we are thinking about "D" names why don't we call our next baby "Darla" if it's a girl." Well I really liked the name so when she was born we called her Darla. Now I got thinking that Deanna must of had a special reason why she liked that name so I asked her how she came up with that name and she said "it's on the "Little Rascals." I was a little floored since I thought maybe she had a special friend at school or something like that. Well anyway I'm glad we named her Darla because she fits the name. She has always been beautiful and elegant just like the little actress Darla on the TV.

Feliz Cumpleanos a Presidente Pagaza

This video I especially have down loaded for my sister Virginia because I thought she would enjoy it. We all sang the song "feliz cumpleaños" at 7:00 a.m. in the morning for Presidente Pagaza he is the counselor of the President of the Temples that also lives in our compound. We will also be celebrating his Birthday on this Monday when we get together for Family Home Evening.

April 4, 2009 and flowers from March28, 2009

Each week John buys me flowers from the man that sells them at the corner where we live. We just bring over my vase and I choose the ones I want and he cuts them and fits them in for me. John loves roses so maybe I'll choose them next week.
