When I go to Curves to work out these girls are always talking to me in Spanish. They are alot of fun. I have learned alot from them, one of them is now taking English classes. She speaks to me in English and I speak to her in Spanish. I gave her the Ensign to read in English to help her out. I also told her about our church and she was very interested. She knows we are here because of Bills work.
Other pictures of Hermano Bertas home:
He has several bee hives where he gets his own honey. We tasted it and it was great. His yard is built for his family and lots of grand children. He has alot of property and is pretty well off. We had the parilla in his backyard. The kids were playing "hide-n-seek" a game we have not seen played forever. He has his own storage area for his food. He is prepared and very self-reliant. Some saints here grasp the vision of being prepared in all things.
Hermano Berta invited us to his home for a parilla on friday, May 1,2009. It is the biggest Argentine holiday, Like our Christmas in the States. They celebrate workers day and all the stores are closed-(seriously, not a one is open). So you see familys all over having get togethers. So we had a get-together with the welfare workers of the church. They are all great people, and we love associating with them.
Enjoy the pics.
Others who were there: Senior missionary couples from the states serving in the Welfare dept. Argentines who work in the churchs welfare dept. (Look and guess who you think are Argentines and who are American). It is hard because Argentines are light complected and look very European.
