The rain has stopped but some puddles just stick around forever!
After all the rain from last week, big scary critters started popping up
out of everywhere!
Yes that is a scorpion. And yes the other missionaries decided to keep it as a pet.
This week was stake conference - woohoo! A stake is a group of
congregations in the church, that all come together. You can imagine that the
kingdom of God is like a giant tent, and all throughout the world there are
these "stakes" that are a part of it, strengthening it. So our stake conference
was pretty interesting because half of the people in the area speak English and
half speak Spanish. The conference was primarily in English, and the Spanish
members wore headsets. However, some talks were in Spanish with English
translators, the prayers were in either language, and the hymns were sung in
both languages at once. Only in El Paso!
Saturday was a very special day - Sister Silva's birthday!!
We are so proud of our friend Maria. She has quit smoking! Here is a
picture of her with her Declaration of Independence!
And yet another gorgeous Texas sky!
