OUR DATE!

Our great friends Mike and Angie, offer to watch the kids for a few hrs so Max and I could go to the Temple( THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!), we had never gone on a Monday, so we didn't know that it closes at 12pm, Max remember a Restaurant he saw close where our friends live and we decided to go... it was an Argentinian restaurant!!
The food was unbelievable!! and huge portions!! this is a "milanesa a la napolitana con papas fritas" ( a breaded meat with french fries) so good!!

the place is so welcoming, in the front of the restaurant there is a big "mate" Max is standing next to it, for those of you that don't know "Mate" is a typical drink in Argentina ( like an herbal tea)



to my surprise the owner of the restaurant was a mission companion of my older sister Susana,this is a picture of their president " Lozano" it was so good to see him.


This is the owner, such a friendly guy and great cook, he and his family run this Restaurant.

SALT LAKE CITY!

My preteen son Micheal, he is getting cuter by the minute!

We went to the church museum in downtown salt Lake, Max showed the kids how a temple altar looks like and explain to them the importance of eternal families.

Nicholle was particularly surprise when we explain to her that the pioneers had to pack "ALL" their belonging in a wagon.." but is so Small" she said-


This is cool in a very creepy way, since at Joseph Smith time, they didn't have pictures, they made masks of Hiram and Joseph's faces before they were buried, this are the original ones.




My three little angels!!!



MORE OF DOWNTOWN

Michael was so impress with the fact that the book of Mormon has been translated in so many different languages the same as the Bible.

very impressive!
we read the scriptures every day, but it was so fun for the kids to see the histories come a live.


Max was so good with the kids, explaining all the things to them and answering every question (they had a lot!)



We explain to them all the good things the church does with the tiding, like providing food and clothing to people in need.




OUR TRIP TO DOWNTOWN

there is nothing more exiting that to go to downtown Salt Lake, the church has done such a marvelous job with everything, is beautiful and inviting for the whole family... is a must see thing! Max and I really enjoyed the time we have together and with the kids!
Michael, Nicholle and Caitlin really enjoyed the fountain!!




It was such an beautiful day, the weather was perfect!



This is one of my favorites places in temple square, the Christ image is so beautiful and bring such a peace, when we came out Michael said.."what a wonderful place mom!! you could feel the spirt there"
