July 6 - A Little Update

Dad got his first haircut here at a barbershop. He said it included a warm towel around his face, a shoulder rub, scalp massage, and a fresh blade for the strait edge razor they did his neck with. All that for 280 pesos (about $5.50). Dad gave him 350 ($7.00) pesos and he was a happy barber.

In other news - I drove to the office and back yesterday morning and we arrived without incident. Another small victory!!!

I'm also sending a couple of pictures of the children of Happyland - they are so cute! It was an arranged tour for the Humanitarian missionaries to see inside their village so I'm sure the children were prepared and the missionaries gave them treats so that brought extra big smiles but they are pretty charming. They like having their picture taken.

With the time difference between us and our working office hours, we aren't able to call as often as we thought. We would still love to hear from you and find out what's going on in your families. Would you please each write us an e-mail every week or two and send us pictures when you can? It would really help us keep in touch with you and to know that normal life is going on beyond what we are experiencing here. I know that the men who served missions know what we are experiencing and letters from loved ones help more than you know.

We loved seeing the pictures of the family that Aubry took and posted on Instagram. Hope a good time was had by all.
