Special Families... Griswold Christmas Lights in Nicaragua


Baking Galletas Americanas with Gabriela. She is a fun, happy, smart, and beautiful 12 year old in the Estelí Branch. Her dad is now the Branch President there and her mom is the Young Women’s President. We love their family!
Our current Branch President in the Rosario Branch, Presidente Jeronimo, doing his day job of making pants. I hired him to make me 3 pairs and the missionaries have used his skills as well. He and his wife also have a small pulpería, and sell Marta’s Nica enchiladas, carne asada, naca tamales, and gallo pinto. He cooks a mean carne asada! He is a wonderful man and dear friend.

The Chevy Chase home of Estelí! We were so impressed to see all the workers setting this up! Wow! It looks like Christmas!
Last lunch here with the Poncios and entourage. Hermanas Poncio and Fersola with their gathered pile of clothes for members and missionaries in need in Managua. Thanks to all who donated to help the people here in Nicaragua, especially to Jacob Hofer and the Bryans!

The Rugama Family is definitely one of our favorites! We have grown to love them so much as we have had the opportunity to work with them. They were sealed in the temple as a family several years ago and are saving to go again. Their son, Octavio, is preparing to serve a mission next year! Their daughter, Fany, does not like pictures, but is a sweetheart! We will truly miss them!
The baptism of María de los Ángeles with her parents, friend, Hermanas Pacheco and Donaire, and Elder K. Potential eternal family!
