1st Sunday at church

Today was our first official Sunday at the local church (ward).. We arrived 25 minutes early to find that the Mexican Saints have the same habits are the Salt Lake Valley Saints.. They arrive late... Other than the Bishop and family, there was not another car in the parking lot. The Bishop and family all greeted us with open arms and warm fellowship. The Bishop's family all speak good English..
When the meeting started it was about 20% full and by the end of the 1st song the congregation grew to about 60% full and after the sacrament was completed and the doors reopened we had a packed house! Just like back in Utah...
Members are all very friendly and want to help.. Many spoke English, even the small children.
Sacrament service was all in Spanish. The hymns were all old favorites except in Spanish... I sang in English ... Oh well...
Sunday School was a bust... I haven't got my scriptures here yet.. They are on a later flight.. Kathy Cameron, our friend that lives here a couple of weeks a month is shuttling down some items for us... We don't even have Sunday go to meeting clothes... But, they are coming... Without at least scriptures to look up the references, we were totally lost... Once scriptures get here and I can round up a copy of the lesson book in English, I will get more out of Sunday School.


Afterwards we drove up to Puerto Juarez and had lunch on the beach... Pto Juarez is a small fishing village and launch site for the Ferry to Isle of Women just of the coast.

Now it is back to Fantasy Football... Made a few adjustments in my team that was drafted for me...now I am on track to have a better season...
