A visit to Cuernavaca

Cortez Castle was another place we got to visit and this is a picture of General Zapata, we also seen a picture of Pancho Villa, but didn't get a picture of him. He may be a relative of mine? We have lots of pictures but don't want to bore you. We are really enjoying our visits when we can. We are so blessed to have a missionary The Bluth's that were here before on a mission in the Visitors Center and they know all the good spots to go.

Opps, Ok below is Cortez Castle

Sights we have gotten to see in Mexico in June.

Shopping is always fun and we did and are still doing that when we visit different places like Taxco, which is famous for it's silver. Then to the caves in Las Grutas and watched fearfully as John and others went over a ravine on a steel cable to get to the beautiful caves.

Yes, I'm still cooking Taco's in Mexico!!!!!

John told our American Missionary friends that I cook good taco's so here I am in Mexico cooking taco's. They loved them but I'm not sure how the Mexican Missionaries are going to like them when I cook them for a FHE???

Well I can't believe it already June 28, 2009

We have been so busy starting with Jonathan and Sarah wedding day that we had the privileged to attend on June 5th. How special it was to see them get married in the Temple for time and all eternity. (a few favorite picture shared above)

John I were very touch to have such wonderful Ward members surprise us with the collection of money to cover the cost of of flight to be there and return back to Mexico. Their are no words to express our appreciation and love we have felt from the Hayward 1st Ward. They have always supported us in every way and we miss and love them dearly. We were so happy to speak to those that we were able to speak with briefly. We were so sorry we didn't have a chance to speak to everyone. We left for our flight immediately after their reception only to have a nightmare of experience with the airlines including missed flights due to the airline changing the flight times only to set us up with another that was missed also and having to stay over night in L.A. and then having to get up at 3 a.m. to make the flight at 7:30 a.m. Then when we did arrive finally in Mexico we found that our luggage did not arrive and we had to walk and ride trains to different terminals only to find it was not there. Finally we talk to someone that said they would find it and have it taken to the Visitor Center next to our Temple in Mexico. Amazingly I was calm though out the whole ordeal until the end of all the frustration I almost lost it but thank goodness I held back the tears. Anyway all things worked out and we did finally get our luggage and now that I look back on it....it seems like such a small inconvenience after we experience such a blessing as to be at the wedding. Again, thank you so much for all your support.
We also already had plans when we returned to Mexico to see some of the beautiful sighs of Mexico with our Missionary friends. So later I will have those pictures up on our Blog that was taken from a friend since I didn't have my camera.

People of Mexico in the streets celebrating maybe a little too much..

This video does not do Justus of the noise those riffles or muskets make. They scared me almost every time they went off. They asked me if John would like to shoot one, but I told them "no gracias"

In the streets of Mexico

Those muskets look harmless but you better cover your ears because the noise sounds like a cannon. They were celebrating the "cinco de mayo" all week long since Mother Day until 11:30 p.m. Apparently they could not celebrate on the 5th because the government closed all large gatherings due to the "Swine Flue."
