Dear Family,
We are survivors! The oppressive hot 90+ weather appears to be behind us now. Although, officially the hurricane season goes until the end of November, the locals claim the hurricane season is over because the "cooler weather" (90 to high 80's) has cooled down the water temperatures in the gulf. We are so very thankful we did not get blasted. Our sunrise walks have been so much more pleasant with temperatures in 70's instead of 80's.
On Monday, we invited Edgar, a member of the branch, who is working in Corpus Christi as a painter to dinner. He has a wife and two children at home in Guatamala, and hopes to be able to return in December. He misses his family a lot. We enjoyed getting to know him and his family a little better. He is the only member in his family. He said he studied his language in school and hears all kind of incorrect Spanish here. Mom says he speaks very good Spanish unlike many others we meet in Corpus Christi.
Conference was great. We take solace knowing that wherever you were, you were doing the same thing as we were. We enjoyed listening to the speakers, taking notes and being edified during each of the sessions. We are truly blessed to be able to listen to and receive counsel from these servants of the Lord. Saturday we took two Elders to lunch and two other Elders to dinner between the sessions. On Sunday, between sessions we went with the Elders for a teaching appointment and after the last session, we made dinner for the Sisters. During the last session, Mom went to where conference was translated into Spanish and tried to take notes in English. It didn't work out so well. :)
We are so grateful for you and your children and miss you so much. Please give our grandbuddies a hug from Nonna and Papa.
We love you all, Mom & Dad
