Another temple day! Last day...

 On Friday August 5th we were honored to accompany Tony and Julia Orellana to the San Antonio Temple.  What a special day that was!  They were sealed together, then had a daughter sealed to them, then Julia was sealed to her parents!  Julia's brother, sister in law, her nephew and niece in law were there, too. It was a very special day!

After, the whole group went to a restaurant and had gorditas!  Yum!

These two have made a happy spot in my heart every Monday and Tuesday when they come to get help with their family history!  Tommy and Laverne Kirkpatrick.

Alfredo makes me happy!



Lockhart's sidewalks welcome you! This is towards the bike trail.

This is a residential street.  Almost all the streets have the same brick design. (But not in new neighborhoods.)

Our Gonzalez English Connect.  Maria, Maria and Horatio. Ruiz didn't show up this day. 

This week we took the Sudweeks visiting. One day to just the Bradshaws here in Lockhart.  Another day to the north part of the branch (Dale, Cedar Creek).  Another day to Gonzales.  They got to meet most of our friends that we have been visiting regularly.  Now they get to have the fun! 

Lots of photos this week of us and our friends!

This was the best way to spend 6 months!!  We highly recommend it.  💗

March passed so quickly!

 We have been busy.... am I saying this too much?  Maybe, but every week we seem to be a little more busy!  For instance, today we had a meeting in Lockhart at 10:00, (we walked the 1 1/2 miles), then had an appointment in Gonzales at 2:00 (40 minute drive), then after that we went to the Luling library (20 minute drive) to see their genealogical society section.  Then we went from there to Cedar Creek (35 minute drive), then back to Lockhart (35 minutes) to go to the chapel there for Family History instruction.  During the drives we reviewed lessons, and we were able to eat breakfast and lunch at home.  About 2 hours 10 minutes in the car in one day.  Whew!  What a day! (But not too unusual.)  It's nice now to relax for a little while.  Tomorrow we will drive to the other side of Austin for Zone Conference, then in the evening we will be back in Gonzales for a dinner appointment and our English class. Spring has definitely come to Centr...

English, English and more English!

       We had a very successful week setting up locations and dates for teaching English Connect this week!  The Lockhart libary was very excited, and showed us several rooms we could choose from to have our weekly classes.  Super great.  They wanted to wait for a few weeks so there would be time to "advertise."  So we will be starting at the library on April 18th.  Super cool.  And it's not only English, but also Family History Consultation.  Each day we teach English for one hour we are also going to be available to help others with Family History for one hour. Once we start at the library, our schedule will be: Monday 5-7 at the Lockhart library. Tuesday 6-8 at the Lockhart church. Thursday 6-8 at the Gonzales church. Fridays...... we think...... we are taking over a Zoom English Connect.     Right now we are doing Wednesday at the Gonzales church, and since we are starting over again for the Thursday classes, we may be...

Around town, meeting members and friends

 We've been a bit busier this last week.  We had appointments almost every night.  One of the assignments the sister missionaries had was to teach English classes.  It takes so much time to prepare, and they were very excited to hand over that assignment to us!  We were given 3 laptops from the stake to start Family History Connect.  We are going to start both of these this week! We will also be doing Family History Connect (just one on one helping others with their family history) in the Lockhart building once a week, starting next week.  We may be starting English classes here in Lockhart, too.  We are pretty excited to get this going! We have been taking daily walks around town, trying to go in different directions, unless we need to go shopping, so we have found some fun places.  Many more to find!  Lockhart is full of old LARGE houses, probably old plantation houses, and some are kept up super nice.  I love them!  We found...
