Day of the ninos, temple trip for new elder and English class earthquake drill

Dennis and I were asked to take a new missionary to the temple today.  Frequently the Latino missionaries arrive here without having been endowed in the temple yet. That was the case with Elder Jacob Barrera.  His companion has only been to the temple once so he was the escort but Dennis was close behind them both.   I am sure his parents would have wanted to be with him when he went to the temple but that would have meant that they have to travel to Mexico City.  This Elder flew from his mountain town in the far north of Mexico.  He had been to the temple one time when he was sealed with his parents and family when he was 4 years old.  At that time he stood in front of the Christus with his family so he wanted to do it again.  I looked at the Elders in his district.  Their names are common church names as is typical that parents name their sons after men in the scriptures.  There were two that were names Jesus one Jacob one Daniel, one Moroni and an Esau and an Adam.  

Today in Mexico is the day of the Ninos.  The day of the Children.  April has Childrens Day, May has Mothers Day and June has Father´s Day.  Why doesn´t the US has a children's day?  This is Catty the nurse who initiated us here in the clinic celebrating children's day and Hermana Montoya one of our older ninos on the campus.   It was a delicious tres leche cake with cream and fruit on top.  

We also taught 9 people in our English class today.  I played a game and gave them a silly picture from the Children's Highlight Magazine and had them talk in English to tell me what was going on in the picture.  They were anxious to make up sentences because every time they did I gave then a chocolate kiss and a baggie to put them in.
