These pictures were sent to me by another missionary, I'm not sure I want to know...or do I?

I'm going to tell myself this is last week, when they were cleaning out an apartment.  Maybe he was singing " La Cucaracha" as he swept?!

** One thing he forgot to put in his group email, the water heater at the church was not working, so the water in the font was freezing.

A Grateful Mom

Today, I received the sweetest email from some people in Elder Martin's ward.  He and his companion had dinner at their home and the couple was kind enough to take pictures and send to us.  I am so grateful for kind people that know how much we miss our sons and take the time to share pictures.  It's always good to see that handsome, smiling face!

This picture was taken in the kitchen, does that mean they did the dishes?
