Sam's Visit!

Every once in a while we get a visit from one or more of our children.  This time our son Sam came down for the week of Thanksgiving (which really is nothing here, but for him it was a lighter week of work in the U.S., so easier time to come here).  But it happened to be the busiest time of our Transfer Cycle, which we warned him about and he said- that's ok, I will just tag along and get to see what you really do and then he could do his work on his computer, while we were doing all our stuff.  So here are a few fun photos with Sam, in the Mission, with missionaries and him getting to see the real Mission!

Farewell Dinner/Fireside in the Mission Home

Sam got to see Presidente y Hermana Haws teaching
the Trainers on Sunday night before the News arrived.

At the airport on Monday morning - Sam was joining
the Office Elders in a selfie with the Leaving
Missionaries and Presidente y Hermana Haws

On Wednesday, Sam joined Elder Hendricks and
Elder Serrato for a selfie with the Leadership Council

So - OXXO's are a staple in Mexico. There is one about
every other block. So as we were going in for a cold drink,
into one of these OXXO's - I said I have
never gotten a picture of an OXXO
- and well - now we have one! Thanks Sam!

Cascadas de Misol Há ~

   On Thursday, Thanksgiving day, we got to do something fun and spectacular before Sam had to leave on Thursday night. We visited one of the top ten waterfalls in Mexico, which just happens to be in our Mission boundaries and near Palenque - Misol Ha!  It is spectacular. It was raining hard that day, but we were not dissuaded and we were rewarded for our perseverance. By the time we arrived it was drizzling and that soon gave way - so we were able to climb around and enjoy the beauty and Sam even went swimming under the waterfall!

There was water every where, even
from the sky!

You know it must be low, if I have to
duck!

Me, President and Sam!!

Sam even gave us a farewell as he went
up the escalator of Esfuerza al Máximo!

WE LOVE YOU SAM. . . .until next time
