Our Last Day in Reynosa

We had our last day in Reynosa on Tuesday May 13th. We had just returned from visiting Tampico and had dinner with our friends the Gonzalez family. Here is a video of us at their house before eating. Most of it's in Spanish so be ready! After eating, we went to Marisol's cousin's home to pay them a last visit and spend the night before our long trip to Mesa. Joel...quisiera haber hecho unrecuerdo de ese día con ustedes supongo que estábamos ya muy cansados. Ya sabes que los apreciamos mucho.

Mother's Day in Mexico (May 10th)

On Saturday, May 10th we celebrated Mother's Day going to Marisol's Grandmother's house in Tampico. We ate tamales and listened to a trio of guitarists sing for an hour. It was a good experience to have just before going over to the U.S.A. We'll probably be there on May 14th or 15th because we have to wait until Monday to get a part in the van changed. Here are some pictures of today's get together.

Ward Farewell

On Tuesday we went to a farewell party our ward put together for us. There were about 40 people there and there was a short program. Members were invited to share their thoughts and wishes for us. Some thanked Marisol for her good attitude and example she gave and said they were going to miss her a lot. A sister thanked me (evan grande) for getting her grandson interested in coming to church and having his white shirt and tie ready (I gave classes to Valients a few weeks). About 8 people shared some things about us and then Marisol and I got up and it was our turn. We said we had learned a lot from being in the ward and we would take the best of our experiences with us to Arizona. Even though its not exactly the safest city in the world, we believe the Lord brought us there for a good reason. We hope to be in Arizona before the 15th.
