In Mante we had the devotional for both the Mante and Valles zones. Sister Guerra, once again, prepared all the food for 32 people. And these are not just people. They are hungry missionaries. Believe it not, there was actually some food left over.
They ate chicken, meatloaf, vegetable (a speciality since you don't get many of those), crescent rolls, mashed potatoes and delicious homemade cookies and brownies. She is a wonderful cook. They own the Church's Chicken fast food place in Mante which is just like KFC and had them make the mashed potatoes. They tasted so good. Just like home.
Sister Guerra is on the left. She and her husband attended BYU and speak English. They live in Mante with their family. Her husband was just released as stake president in Mante and she just finished running a marathon in McAllen, TX.
After 'Tommy Wright and Tommy Left' they opened their "amazing " gifts. Some are less amazing than others.
The Valles zone performed a musical number together. And then Mante........
This one was hilarious simply because the elder that is hitting the drum on the side is about 6'4" and weighs about 250 lbs. That drum has sat in our house for 2 years. An elder that wasn't too focused in the mission left a skateboard that he'd been caught with and a set of drums. When it was time to go home neither of them would fit in his bag. He said he'd send for them but after 2 years we gave the drums to the Mante zone to do their number and told them we never wanted to see them again. We told them to donate them to a children's shelter afterward. We gave the skateboard to Rosario to sell and use the money for her family.
