Meeting in Santa Lucia and Catholic School fund raiser

 This sister and her husband work in the temple and made arrangements for President Norman and Sister Norman to come to s special meeting to talk to the district about the temple and the importance of families.  We were invited to go along.  Dale and two other Senior Elders were asked to bear their testimonies, then Pres. and Sister Norman spoke.  We got there a little early and the children's choir was practicing for their district conference.  These two girls were singing with the director when we walked into the chapel.
 The children's choir singing their songs.
 After the meeting, we enjoyed visiting with the members and their children.  It was sweet and one little girl came up to me and gave me a big hug.  I realized how much I miss the hugs of my grandkids.
 Just down the street from us is a Catholic School.  They were having a fund raiser, so we went down.  This is a coconut with a straw and some mangos all cut up for enjoying.
 These sisters are making tortillas and (we think) chicken.

 The Sisters at the school and the tents behind with games and food.
 They had a basketball game and volleyball to watch.
The little ones did a "real" fish pond.  They were little minnows.  We couldn't help but remember Alpine Days and the big trout they used to bring in and dump in the pool they made in front of the fire station.  The kids would climb in the pool and catch the fish with their hands.  This is quite a different scene.
