Sunday in San Salvador...Since our Church time was changed for today only to accomodate another stake using the building, we had a brunch instead of our pot-luck dinner. The Gibbons served their delicious biscuits with strawberries and whipped cream. Here is who brought what: Walls - Diane & Frank - Quiche Halls - Joanne & Richards - Banana muffins and Orange juice Thompsons - Nancy & Lon - Whipped cream Kitleys - Arlene & Trent - Milk Petersens - Eileen & Walt - Bacon
Romel, our assistant engineer, and Alex, (forgot his title), came up to the patio terrace to tell us they had the pipe fixed that had broken during the night for our filtered water. So we invited them to join us. We didn't have to twist their arm very hard.
I'll add the group photo when Elder Kitley sends it to us. He set up his tripod this morning to take a photo of everyone by using the timer.
Walt was born in Wendell, Idaho,and lived in Idaho 64 of his 86 years. Eileen was born in the Twin Falls Idaho Hospital going home to Wendell from there, and lived in Idaho for 57 of my 85 years.
