Carlos Alfredo XV and Curt's gifts

On August 7 we celebrated the XV birthday party de Carlos. We had the regular teen meeting first and then the carne asada y pastel up on the new porch.


Emmanuel plays the piano now at all the teen meetings.


Carlos and his parents up on the porch with the rest of the teens.





These are just some of the most beautiful flowers we have here. What I like about them is they don't need lots of attention!


A friend from the states sent a suitcase of tee shirts and ball caps to give out to the church folks here. it just so happened that the suitcase arrived just in time for the birthday party- so we thought it was appropriate that Carlos and his family and the rest of the folks get a hat- not really a "party hat" but in a way it was! This is Carlos' Dad.




David and Carlos.


The kids and I are taking an imaginary vacation through Mexico this summer. Each service we see something from one of the states in Mexico. Saltillo, Coahuila is well known for their sarapes, hence the picture. Sarapes de Saltillo


Kids in their new tee-shrits. Thank you Curt!
