Lunch at Pardo's, a visit with the Salazars and Immigration AGAIN!

On Monday at noon we met all the American Senior Missionary couples at Pardo's Chicken for lunch.  They serve delicious rotisserie chicken and salads that are safe to eat.  It is reasonably priced and is located at the mall near the temple.

We rode in this little Taxi with the Hawes to the Mall.  We really
did get all four of us in this little car.

Ready to order.

On Monday evening, Daniel Salazar, one of the temple workers, came to pick us up.  He wanted to take us to his home to meet his family.

  

Sandy with the Salazar family.
Eiko, age 14, Enoc, age 8, Haru, age 5, Obed, 7 months, Daniel and Jenifer.
Jenifer sang in the choir for the temple dedication.  The whole family likes to sing.
They have a keyboard and I played hymns while everyone sang.
They sent us home with some banana bread.  We brought cookies for the children.

Bill & Sandy with "little" Obed.  He likes to eat.
His parents said he is "gordito" (little fat one).

Today (Wednesday) we had to go back to Immigration with the Nields.  We thought this would be the last time and that we would finally receive our carnets.  They had us fill out more paperwork, took our pictures again and more finger prints.  However, after 2 more hours, we were informed we would have to come back next Wednesday to get our passports stamped and pick up the carnets (visas).  What an ordeal this has been!

This week we bought a few more souvenirs and wanted you to see the way we have to buy our milk.  There are no quarts or gallon containers.  Milk comes in small boxes on the shelf or small bags in the cooler.  We like the ones in the bag better but we had to buy milk bottles to pour them into.

The baby llama is new this week.
