OSORNO ZONE ACTIVITY

We had several good reasons for a p-day zone activity-----a great warm sunny day in the middle of winter (that is usually cold and rainy), the Biddulphs going away, President's birthday, and Elder Thorup's parents coming to pick him up.

2) Sis. & Bro. Thorup, Hna. Biddulph, Hna. Lanzas, Hna. Furniss, Hna. Goodman, Hna. Kitto, Hna. Parks, Elder Klinkefus, Elder Abel, Elder Burge, Elder Nelson, Elder Carmen, Elder Reich, Elder Arce, Elder Mamani, Elder Larsen, Elder Cardozo, Elder Thorup, Elder Coria

OF COURSE WE HAD HAMBURGERS & HOT DOGS ON THE GRILL

Elder Goodman was in charge of the grill.

LUNCH TIME

The weather was sooo nice, we decided to eat outside instead of squeezing everyone in the dining room.  Would be great if it was like this all winter.

PICTURE TIME

I missed the picture of John blowing out his candles so took one of everyone else taking pictures of him.

BIDDULPHS WITH THE CHILEAN FLAG

The Osorno Centro ward had a going away activity for the Biddulphs and gave them this flag as a gift.
