Has it Really Been Three and a Half Weeks ?????

Well so much for keeping up with the blog weekly ; )

Since the last blog we have gone to Oaxaca and back to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Temple Missionaries and purchase a few Nativities. Attended another parade, this one for Mexican Revolution Day, which culminated with young men flipping through hoops of fire, not something you would see in the USA everyday. Celebrated our 35th anniversary and Thanksgiving Day with a boat tour of the Bahias of Huatulco and skyped with family. Discovered that poinsettias actually grow to be trees in tropical environments. Took our first ride in a moto taxi. Visited the ruins in Mitla. Spent time with some member families celebrating birthdays. Had another missionary we have grown to love get transferred. Decorated our driftwood Christmas tree and many others things which seem to start early in the day and end late in the night.

I can report that I am now able to better understand people and actually asked a question in Spanish without thinking of the English words first. Maybe, with the Lord's help, I will be able to speak the language when I return in 14 months.

So without further adieu and any long winded speech, here are some pictures of the last 3 1/2 weeks for you to enjoy.
