walking the streets of vina
We bought many treasures to bring home. Jeremy's favorite is so a strange carved Indian. Certain body parts stick out as you pick it up. I wouldn't even put it in my luggage on the trip home. He shows it to everyone. The members are so humble and sacraficed much to feed my son. One man said he is still paying off the food bill. I loved going to church with them, even when I couldn't understand anything. We ate lunch with a Stake President and learned much from him. A man with a great sense of humor. What a great experience.

Teresa found a few fabric stores but no quilting fabrics.
A family we had lunch with a real enjoyable time and the food was great. It was fun to visit with them thru the help of Jeremy. 
The girl making the peace sing was so cute and a fun personality. I told Jeremy she was a little spit fire. They wanted it translated. The only translation Jeremy felt would fit was that she was a pit bull. These people (3 generations) live in one house and have small store attached to their house and several computers people come and rent time on to go online. They also had a telephone people could pay to use. They all have cell phones. Even teenagers.

Wow! It sounds so adventurous. I am so glad you were able to go and experience it with Jeremy. I am showing the pictures to my boys and hopefully they will understand that they can stop praying for Jeremy on his mission.
Teresa and Fred,
Thanks for the update. Good to see you were able to go eventually. Members of the church are terrific no matter where they live in the world. Jeremy, under the grass beach umbrella your hair looks great.
What a fun and memorable trip. I'm so glad you got to go. I can't wait to hear more. I fear the day I become the mom of a missionary, but fear in a good way. Thanks to your family for always being such a good example to us.
