La Gran Aventura Day 56: Dinner with Carlos and Nidia

Sunday, February 4, 2024

This morning, Mom taught the girls a little crochet lesson and put them to work making quilt squares for a humanitarian project.

Today we went to church back at the Spanish ward. This time Savannah was with us, and Alicia sat next to her and interpreted for her during sacrament meeting and during class. I was so proud of Alicia.

Carlos Aburto taught the Sunday school class. It was all about Lehi’s and his family’s journey in the wilderness. The thing that stood out to me the very most was the idea of leaning into challenges. Nephi always did it, while Laman and Lemuel always tried to get out of things.

In the evening we had dinner at Marybeth’s house with our dear friends Carlos and Nidia Corzo. Nidia is a true pilgrim, and she’ll be on the Camino this spring as well -- although she’s starting further along the trail than we will. She and Betty and I had a long talk, which actually turned into a little testimony meeting. The Corzos are some of the best people I know, and they really took good care of me when I was on the mission. I’m so glad we got to spend some time with them.
