San Antonio Temple, New Braunsfel Ward and Mission Buddy..

At just about every Villarreal Family Reunion we attend a temple session. There is always something special about attending the temple together as a family. The temple grounds were still beautiful even with the severe drought San Antonio was experiencing. It is always nice when Keave and Malia offer to watch the girls so that we can have this sacred experience together. It always increases our love and devotion for Heavenly Father, Our Savior and for one another. When you have an eternal perspective of being together forever you want to do all that you can to strengthen those relationships while you are still on this earth.
We also attended the New Braunsfel Ward and it never ceases to amaze me that no matter how far we have traveled, we are welcomed as friends and family and not as strangers. Kaydree and Karsyn loved Primary and it was very humbling to have a member of their Primary Presidency pull me aside to tell me how much they appreciated that our girls participated and that they were very sweet and reverent. At least we know they can be that way when it counts.... ;-)
Don't they look so sweet? They had just gotten done fighting with me over doing their hair, but like I say, "We are grateful that they pull it together when it counts." ;-)
We then had the opportunity to visit one of Benjy's Missionary Friends, Adam Hansen and his wife Megan. They invited us over for dinner. It was soooo good. They made chicken fajitas with homemade guacamole and salsa along with freshly made tortillas. We feel like we know someone famous because Adam was on Deal or No Deal, which we love to watch!
This is their little puppy, Harley. She is so cute. I am sure Charlee would have had a blast with her....she is ALL puppy still. We wanted to pack her up and take her home!
