This past Monday for Family Home Evening we had a surprise birthday party for President Burk. There was not room in any ones apartment, so we had it out in front of Casa four in the car port. Having car ports with these casitas is kind of funny because no one other than one of the temple president councilors has a car of their own, and that is President Galvez and his wife. We had a lesson and everyone was trying to listen. Then the door to the street was opened and the Mariachi band came it. They played some fun songs like Ceilito Lindo and other popular songs that are popular here in Guatemala. We danced and sang to their music then we went inside the apartment in the hall way where there was cake and ice cream and a few other things to eat. Having the Mariachis over for a family home evening is the exception, not the rule.

One surprise from last week that we forgot to mention is that we have a new Stake President at home in Eagle Mountain. President Burnham told us the night he set us apart that he might be released when we got home, and we wondered about that when he said it because he had not been in for 10 years yet. But we found out from some visitors who live in the Ranches in Eagle Mountain and who are involved in the FM department, that our stake and another stake were divided to make a third stake called Cedar Pass Stake.
