New talents and accomplishments

This is the bean salad Stan made...

 and the mess..

He cleaned it up and the salad was real good!

It is amazing what a guy can do if there isn't any farming.

Our power went out at the office

A big crack of lightening hit the building next door..

While two guys were on the roof of our our building fixing things up there.

They had weak knees.

Anyway--I called the neighbor in our apartment complex and there was power...

so we came here to work.

I had ten shirts to fix and taper.

I got through some of them..

but came back the next day when Elder Capps and James were setting up our new computers.

while I had this mess Stan was out with the Spanish Elders Elder Trotter and Brown.

They hadn't had dinner soooo.

Stan called and asked if I had anything to feed them.

I just happened to make some soup the night before.

In the five minutes I put the soup on to warm then in one swoop...

maybe two...

I took all this stuff into the bedroom..

set the table...

and stood smiling as they walked through the door.

So when they were done eating they cleared the table...

went to teach...

and I finished the shirts!

Elder Brown Stan and Elder Trotter

 While they were eating with us...

they told us about 'arepas'

 Venezuelan corn cakes...

 So they took us to Saman.

(we paid of course)

Our arepas were stuffed with 'the works'

But we got a flavor of real Spanish cuisine.

There are a lot of knock off places with Americanized Spanish food.

But there are A LOT of these 'real' Spanish places and the food is good.

They also have a nice bakery.

Elder Capps working on Stan's computer, changing it over to the new one.

My desk with two computers keyboards and printers.

You can see why I went home to sew.

The new computers sent from Salt Lake are not wireless!

Ken Smith and Stan Aron from Employment and Bishop's storehouse...

are trying to 'hard wire' our computers...
to connect them to the Internet...

 Elder James got in on the play as well...

Where is Trevor when I need him?

This is the house by the east Elders that I took the Halloween pics and Christmas pic....

Now Valentines..

Elder James' birthday...

Same as Jordan's Jan 14.

Elder Campbell trying out a bike he fixed...

He had to find something else to do while the office was infested by

computer 'geeks' who think they know what they are doing.

David Dalton who was the 'older' priesthood leader who went with the missionaries teaching a single female.

The Elder Lewis Jennifer Zabetakis Elder Jensen and Elder Capps.

Elder Capps is our in house office Elder but he is also the third leg of this companionship.

Chris Garner baptized Jennifer
David Dalton Confirmed her.

We had some rain...

Very nice.

 The heavens celebrated as well.

The work we are doing is a great work.

Everyday we see the Lords hands in all that we do.

His work will not fail.

It is important that we are apart of that wondrous work.

Even though our journey may be fraught with tribulation...

the destination is truly glorious.
