Salsa!

Yesterday we had a church activity.  We learned the basic steps to dance salsa and we also brought homemade salsas and had a contest.  It was great!  We had a big outcome.  Lots of people came and especially lots of investigators.  We really felt the spirit there and there was lots of smiles and happy conversations.  We also had to say good bye to sister DeWitt who is leaving on Tuesday to go home, sniff,sniff...  We bought a beautiful cake for her, so we had chips and salsa and cake.  YUMMY!  Pedrito had me on the edge the whole time because he just kept running around the church and went outside to the parking lot several times, so I really didn't have time to learn ALL the salsa steps but I still enjoyed it.  Then we came home around 10:30 p.m. (of course after cleaning the church) and watched "Soul Surfer" with my family.  What a great way to end the day....

 

I've also registered  both of my kids in high school and taken them to get sport physicals and made long lines to turn in all these things.  Yes, the past three days have been really busy but we are all excited for school to start.  Angie is super excited about going to high school, Erik is too but doesn't show it too much, and Emma just can't believe she's starting kindergarten and will be going to school all day now.  My little girl... sniff, sniff, she's grown really fast, and Pedrito is right behind her since he's already three, so next year he'll start preschool.  I just feel as excited as them, I know my kids have their whole future  ahead of them and I can't wait to see them take their own path and experience many wonderful things.  I just hope they make the right choices.  I know, I know, they will make some wrong ones and learn from them, but I hope they won't be that bad.  I love them TOO much to see them suffer for their wrong choices.  But anyway the future looks great and as President Monson says:  "The Future Is As Bright As Your Faith".  And I have a lot of faith...   :)
