We got to ride the city bus, with shaking and a lurch,
But we got there, introduced ourselves, and said a word or two,
And asked for all the members there, to try and see us through.
We’re working on the appliances here and deal with gas and power,
Helen cooked a cake this week which cooked for a whole hour!
But the new stuff we work out, and sometimes pretty late,
The cake came out just like it should and really tasted great!
We took our first trip clear downtown with Grandma’s GPS,
And braved a 12 lane highway, and did OK we guess!
The second trip was out of town, Cabilla Abierta One
The program is amazing, our hearts were really won!
The words of Christ, baptismal font, our prophets oh so dear
The sisters there do a fantastic job, the people there to teach,
The elders were out on the streets beside, getting people they could reach
It’s Thanksgiving day this week, we’ll think of you all there,
Take some time for “thanksfuls” after eating and your prayer,
We’re thankful for you all you know, each one is in our heart,
We’re thankful for the work you do, as each one does their part.
We’re thankful for your kindness, and love for family,
We’re thankful that our grandkids know they have a place to be.
We’re thankful for our Savior most, and for the gospel plan,
We’re thankful for the freedoms we enjoy in lving in our land.
We’re thankful for the prayers you send, and Heavenly Father’s hand,
We’ll work hard, with all that help, and do all that we can!
Este es el major din de mi vida!
Happy Thanksgiving week!
We just want to send a note to express our gratitude and love to each of you. We are making progress each day and loving the Argentine people.. I still get turned around but we venture farther, yesterday we drove to our first Capilla Abierta at the Haedo ward. (Ron is getting so good at the driving and Google maps what did we ever do with out it.)
The chapel open house (Capilla Abierta) was such a wonderful experience to see how they present their wards to their neighbors. They have Banners that are displayed. In the chapel they have the Christus banner and then when the visitors come in they play the words of Christ. It is so beautiful in Spanish and you can feel the spirit so strongly. They then visit the cultural hall where they explain more about Christ. Then they go in to the room with the baptismal font. They have 2 missionaries dressed in white with the font full. Explain the purpose of baptism. Very powerful. The YW, Primary and RS have a table set up explain their program. This is such a powerful missionary tool., so effective in our area. The cultural here is such an open and family cultural that they respond so favorability to this open invitation. We are looking forward to helping organize and train for these great events.
The area we live in has all these small café’s and fresh fruit markets. The fruits and vegetables are wonderful. It has been fun to eat at some of these small cafes. We went to a Peruvian one that the meat was so good. You know I really don’t like red meat but this steak and vegetables were wonderful. With grilled onions and peppers.
In my Spanish class at work we have been reading Frozen. At close to the end Olaf was given a permanent cloud over him and exclaims “this is the best day of my life” , because then he wouldn’t melt. I decided that each day here this should be my motto.
“Este es el major din de mi vida!”
Abrazos,
