This is a Guamuchil tree behind Luis- you can eat the white stuff inside the pods, its not bad

Jake figures out what this tree is behind Chapitos

Jake fixes my beloved pink umbrella

A Work Day and an Assembly Day

 About 2 months ago Jake and I went to San Jose to help with the reconstruction of a platform for our Spanish Special Assembly day. It was hard work but one of our favorite days here so far!

My hardworking welder

Cody looks like he's getting bossy with JC

Is Butch the muscle in this operation?

Who gave this girl power tools?!?

professional de-burring of metal

with professional earplugs....good thing safety department wasn't there or we would have been in trouble!

Extremely helpful brother who taught me the words for drill, and welding, and drill bit in Spanish...whose name I forgot!

Cheryl the water girl looks so cute!

Where's the surfboard?

Water break for Darth, er...Jake

Les was still smiling, so it must have went well.....


 And nobody collapsed! Here is the Saturday session of our Spanish 2 day assembly:
 Edgar (our coordinator) interviews Rosa (Pioneer in our Cong.)

Cody interviews our new C.O.'s

Whose department is the best Cody?

Simone and I- with our platform in the back

Samuel sets up the live video for the screens (that everyone looks at because the hall isn't sloped)
And guess who got to sit directly in front of the camera by herself! Also in this picture is the only other blonde that attended, (white skirt)  During the songs everyone got to stare at the back of my head, and they all knew it was me because she has straight hair!

some really cool couple

Newly engaged Marcelino and Anna

the corridor is alive
