We were watching the men unload a pickup truck of dirt at the CCM (MTC) where they have been working to expand to fit in more missionaries. The man inside the truck bed has a shovel that he uses to fill up the bucket or bag held by a co-worker and then the load of dirt is carried to the final destination on the workers back or by hand. This is giving more people the opportunity to work.
Above is a bucket being filled and here is a bag being filled. You can see some Sister Missionaries studying in the backgound.
The bag of dirt if carried on the workers back.
These are three Elders from Guatemala who are serving in three different parts of Mexico, but had to come back to Guatemala because of visa issues. We asked them to come over to eat dinner with us one evening. They are all three very nice young men and have great testimonies of the gospel. After we ate, we all read favorite scripture to each other and talked about the scriptures.
What a beautiful picture of homes and apartments that we could see from a window in the Medical Building close to us. The red roofs and the green trees and the tall buildings are a very pretty site.
This is Elder Shapel from Colorado. I'm not sure if I spelled his name correctly or not. (sorry) We met him when Natalie and Derek, Seth and Spencer were here. We went to the CCM for Sunday dinner. We were talking with several of the missionaries who were also having their dinner at the same time. He and his companion (in the picture) were among the group. Elder Shapel is the shorter one of the two. He is a convert of two years. When he was growing up all his friends were members of the church. He attended quite a few things with his friends at church. After they graduated from High School, he thought, "I want to learn more about what my friends believe", so he went to Mormon.org and looked up some things. He also started to read the Book of Mormon on line. Then he decided to order the book for himself. The missionaries came with the book. He was baptized and now is going to be going to San Salvador on Tuesday, August 6. His mother lives in the same general area as Natalie and Derek do, so they had her come over to their home to visit. She is not a member, but is taking the missionary discussions. We hope that will turn out well.
Elder Shapel and his companion look very happy.
This is the Barny family. They are an Embassy family who recently moved into the area. They came for Sunday dinner. Sister Barny is a lawyer by education. They have a seventeen year old daughter, a fourteen year old son, a twelve year old boy (who Seth passed the Sacrament with while they were visiting here) and an eight year old girl.
It was fun to get to know them better.
