Erin's Christmas visit

We are so happy that Erin was able to come to Mexico and be with us for Christmas!
We had a great time together!

We love our missionaries!

our Mission President's Seminar

Week before last, we attended our Mission President Seminar in Cancun. 

Our seminar was hosted by President and Sister Kirkham, the Cancun mission President and his wife.  All 34 Mission Presidents and their wives from Mexico were there.  We were blessed to have Elder Brent H. Nielson of the Seventy and his wife join us, as well as our Area Presidency.

We met up with our good companeros from the Guadalajara Este mision, 

the Eggington's at the airport and traveled to Cancun together.

We had a full schedule of meetings, 

but there was plenty of time for recreation.

One of the Mission Presidents and his 

wife performed several dances for us,

they were absolutely darling!

We visited Tulum. These beautiful ruin are the icon of Mexico.  We had a wonderful

LDS guide and felt like we were truly in Book of Mormon territory.
