The Taxisco Building


The branch we serve in meets in an interesting building. The building was built about 25 years ago, with the members helping with the construction. One of its interesting features is that the baptismal font is under the "stand". You can see the podium off to the side.




We were in the office this week and were pleased to participate in the birthday celebration for an 82 year old brother who has been working at the area office for over 30 years. His current job is washing
the fleet of cars the Area has. He starts his day at 5AM. Many people come up and personally wish him a happy birthday with hugs. 




Finally, I received a call while at the office letting me know that it was a problem that I pulled into a parking spot instead of backing into it. I was nicely asked to go park the right way when I could.
Our car is the first one on the right. I was not given a reason why my having parked the other way was problematic. But, as you can see, I was very much the odd man out.

    That's a fun place to locate the baptismal font. I had not realized when cars at our stake center in Fruit Heights were backed in, that it was part of some official policy. Sounds like you will be a fulled trained and engrained backer-inner by the time you get home.

The Trip Home - 2/08/2024   I thought I might hand out the last of my Jesus cards on one of the flights home so I had Mary take this photo. I am glad to have this picture to remind me of an important part of my Guatemala mission. I handed out approximately 700 Jesus cards in just under 18 months in Guatemala. In the beginning, I gave one to each cashier with whom we interacted in a store and with others who helped us. As we walked, I would hand one to various people we encountered if I felt prompted. Each time I gave one out, I pointed to my name badge and commented it was because of Jesus that we were there.  We were very excited to be met at the SLC airport by April, Emmett, Alli, Brooke and Maggie. It was a happy reunion and an opportunity to play with grandchildren. With that, I end the blog for our Guatemalan mission. Serving that mission truly has blessed us.

Back to my high school years. This cool mannequin is wearing the same shoes I wore in high school. I have a pair now, thanks to Dallin and Jocey, who are committed to perpetuating my coolness.

  Quetzaltenango Temple and Lake Atitlan - February 2023 Wednesday, we went to Quetzaltenango, over four hours away, to attend the temple and to see that part of Guatemala. .It was a beautiful day and we very much enjoyed our time in this beautiful temple. From there, we drove over 2 hours to Lake Atitlan. It is a beautiful, large lake which has several old volcanoes around it. Here are a few photos of where we stayed.  This is one of 6 cabins in an area close to the beach. Above is a view from the sitting area outside the upstairs bedroom. It was a beautiful area. The dining room table and chairs were quite unique, having been taken from large trees in the area. I thought I would throw in a picture of the living room and kitchen for memory's sake. Thursday morning, we took a boat ride across the lake to a town they call San Juan. This is the area, walking distance from our cabin, from which we launched. The lake is surrounded by mountains and it was interesting to me where so...
