Our Weekend

Here is a little collage of our weekend. Rebecca and her parents had a party at their house Friday night for us while Mel was here. Dancing and empanadas until 12am, what more can you ask for? Saturday we went to Brother Rodriquez' finca in the mountains. Some might remember him. He stayed with my dad for bit over 10 years ago. He makes amazing art pieces our of rocks, pistachio shells, pinecones, etc. Dad gave a talk at his hall and also at a little congregation way up in the mountains (see next pic). Dad and Mel left Sunday morning and, later, Rebecca's family had a going away dinner for a young brother who is leaving for France. The dinner somehow turned into a karaoke/dance party until 12am again. All in all, a very enjoyable weekend.
This is this a new little conregation out in the mountains. As you can see, the hall is small, seats maybe 30 people. Normally you wouldnt have a congregation of 20 publishers, but these brothers live pretty far from the city, so its a special arrangement to make it easier for them to attend meetings.
Philip and Gladys drove down on Monday so that they could spend time with Melany. We went to a restuarant called "Siga la Vaca" or "Follow the Cow." There have a covered area with 10 hammocks separate from the restaurant for naptime. And lots of little cows everywhere.

  2. I remember Brother Rodriquez well. I am the one who gave him a Bucket full of Missouri rocks. I am happy to say I have two mememtos of his work. Remember the the Forlorn looking dog? And my Bewildered, Confused looking little guy who mirrors how I feel most often with the computer?...The brother is VERY talented. I hope his work is appreciated there.
