Soyapango Stake Conference

This is the Gonzales family. She worked at the distribution center and speaks English quite well and so when we were over there she would always visit with me. Her husband is the temple engineer, taking care of all of the facility needs of the temple and the other two buildings on the temple grounds. They are a neat family.

After stake conference we were invited to stay and eat lunch.

This is the youngest child of the stake president, President Orellana, and his wife.
The gentlemen at the end of the table is President Peterson who is the temple president. He and his wife are great examples of service, and have shown us every kindness. The children are President and Sister Orellana's. Between sessions of general conference the Church broadcast their semi-annual "World Report". In that report they gave a lot of attention to PEF and also had an article about the temple in El Salvador. During that portion they showed the Orellana family briefly and showed the oldest boy (sitting here by Pr. Peterson) talking about what the temple means to him.

This is just a beautiful picture from our apartment.

When You're Helping

This is the Service Center in Santa Ana. The man at the desk is the trainer excellente.

These are our pioneers in Santa Ana, our group of volunteers to open the service center in the Modelo Stake Center which is also the institute building. Sister Flores who is next to Dad in the picture is the wife of the Molino stake president and is heading up the group.

Sister Flores makes these to sell and she graciously gave me one that matched my outfit. She is so kind.

This is our group in San Salvador. They are such a fun group. The gal with her arm up is our other daughter Andrea. She is such a funny girl. We really enjoy her. Then there is Sister Paz and then Brigan who is going to school and will go on a mission next year. On the other side is Gabriella and then a gal who was there to fill out her forms. We love our volunteers
