pure joy - kites, missionaries, snails. . .

i can't believe it's been over a month since i last posted a blog.  i have been to salt lake city twice and to maui.  i am also still trying to adjust to life with 6 kids!  i usually can only find enough time to check my email and calendar.  i hope that will change soon.  :)  i really want to blog my pictures from maui, but if i don't do my trip to puerto rico first, it will never happen.






yummy bread!  in puerto rico, they sale fresh bread that is to die for!  my mom brought 6 loaves when we went to fly kites and we devoured it!  thanks mom!  :)  
we were able to go to a transfer meeting.  it was such an eye-opening experience.  i loved watching my parents in action and seeing all the missionaries.  we took this picture in the parking lot where all the missionaries who were being transfered were moving their luggage and bikes around.  we were the first people to leave.  i think all the missionaries loved seeing each other and everyone wanted to talk to each other.  i was grateful to experience this so when my boys are serving their missions, i will sort of know what they are going through.  new language, new country, new culture, new mission president, new companion, new missionaries. i know clatie and tanner will be GREAT missionaries!
these are all the missionaries that came to puerto rico while we were there.
i loved watching ellie look for snails.  she was so intent on filling up her bowl.

Loved seeing your pics of P.R. I had forgotten about the bread. Loved the bread, especially on fast sunday when you had the sacrament. great big chunks.
