Merry Christmas Gonzalo!






 Today we went with the Swapps and McDermids about 1 1/2 hours to the north east to attend sacrament in a small group. We met in a small building with about 20 people. We were asked to bear our testimonies, just enough Spanish for me to do that. Elder Swap speaks well so he used up some of our time. It was humbling to get off the beaten track and see the humility of some of these Saints. A wonderful way to remember our Savior's birth today.



The one room chapel, showing a little weathering.


Cindy with twin twelve year-old sisters, they were that happy too.

Christmas Day in Gonzalo, a typical street.

The Sister second from the left has a son serving in Guatemala, she was baptized recently while he was on his mission.


A functional Chapel, makes us appreciate all we have.

  1. We forget what blessings we have of cushioned seats and carpet and AC. Our first branch in Missouri was an old dance hall, so hard wood floors and one big huge room we had to use dividers to make the rooms for SS classes. You both look great and the people look so happy.
