Dad and I on our way to Church on Sunday.  Fun hills behind us. 

 East dinner at Victoria Suites in Guatemala City.  There are several missionary couples serving in many different capacities in the Central American area.

 Cute treats to bring home from the dinner.  M & M's in the bottom of the glass with cupcakes and frosting on top.

 A plant that grows on the wall around our apartment.  You can't get it off - it is stuck tight.

We made a trek downtown today to Mercado Central on Monday.  Lots of fun things to look at and buy.

 Some pictures of our chapel on Sunday after our Church meetings.  Linda gave the opening prayer and Dale gave the closing prayer in Sacrament Meeting.

Get together at Victoria Suites before Women's Conference

On Saturday afternoon after our shift at the temple, went to Victoria Suites and had  a "favorite things party" for the sisters on Saturday before the General Women's Conference.  The men joined us for a pot luck dinner and then we watched conference while some of the men watched NCAA basketball. The view from the roof top patio is amazing.

March 22 - 25, 2016

This is what we see from our front door - the Angel Moroni through the trees.

We have gone on a walk every morning with some of the other missionaries.  Elder Dibb, Hermana Dawn Hurst, Elder Gary Allred, and Elder Eldon Hurst.  Coming back from our walk (3 1/2 miles) we went over a bridge (built by the Church) that crosses a busy road, and took a picture of the temple from the top.  There are a lot of beautiful flowering trees and interesting evergreen trees, too.

Our apartment in Guatemala City.

We made it to Guatemala, arriving at 5:30 a.m.  The recorder from the temple met us at the airport and brought us to the apartment.  The following pictures show a little about what is looks like.  It is beautiful here.  The weather is nice and the flowering trees are in bloom.  Our apartment was loaded with food and new appliances, bedding, towels, and dishes.  The missionaries have made us feel very welcome.

We spent 3 wonderful days at the Salt Lake Temple in training.  There were some awesome trainers - the Alldredges, former SL Temple president - was so inspirational.  We had the chance to see parts of the temple that we had never seen before and more about the history of that temple.  It took 40 years to build the outside and only one year to complete the inside with all the ornate work inside.  It was amazing.  Other missioanries were going to Bolivia, South Africa, Domincan Republic, England, Boston, Washington DC, etc.  There were 13 couples.  I had the chance to play the organ in the chapel for the opening song for our meeting Wed. and Thurs.  It was a sweet experience.
