HAPPY FATHER'S DAY




We had a fun Father's Day Party in the branch. We served Mexican food of tacos, black beans, and Spanish rice with flan for dessert. We ate popcorn and decorated the table paper while we waited for everyone to arrive. Then we played table games after dinner. We gave the fathers a checker game that we made using silver peso coins and gold 5 peso coins for the markers.
Isn't the little girl in the top picture adorable? Their family just moved into our branch.

In the Land of the Media Agua






The last several months we have been in the construction business. We have been helping our branch members to build two room structures called "media aguas". They are a two room wooden structure that can be improved by adding foam "insulation" and electricity. Running water for a bathroom is a luxury that needs to be found in a nearby structure or home.
