I will write this letter as it will be short. We had a very busy week and are very tired. It's amazing how tired we get just doing fun things. We had buses from Honduras, Nicaragua and a lot of local
patrons that filled the the temple and made it such a spiritual week. Sunday night we performed our Easter concert and it went over really good and we had a good turn out and it was a very spiritual
time. Nancy performed "Oh Divine Redeemer" and did so well. We have a violin player and a pianist that are outstanding and I can say there may be better and I know there are but I haven't heard them. I am very prejudiced but I put Nancy in with that selected group. We now have a three month break and will start up in August. This week we have Elder Carbajal from the seventy over all the Central and South American Temples to train and teach. It should be a special time. We are well and happy and love where we are at and what we are doing. We miss you all but will see you before to
long as the time just flies. Nancy will take over now.
Today we decided to walk to the " Mercado" as President Petersen is busy with meetings and could not take us. The Kitley's and us walked to buy fresh veggies and fruits. We have never walked
there before, thinking it was too far. But it was only a half hour walk and we took back packs for the Elders to carry home our purchases. Now we really feel independent and only have Price Smart
that we need a ride to. It still takes all three stores to find the groceries that we need. But going to the Mercado really saves money as the prices are so much cheaper there. We got a dozen bananas,
radishes, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a quart of flax seed for $7.50. In the stores we would have spent that much on potatoes only. They have anything and everything you can imagine there, lots of items that we could not name or know what to do with. We tried making our own Pupuses for dinner on Saturday. They turned out looking right, but I didn't get enough filling inside so it was just like eating a tortilla. Need more practice!!! We send our love to all and hope you have a great week. We are looking forward to ours. Love the Thompsons, Lon and Nancy, Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma.
