We start out looking for a torch that Brent need for the plumbing work. The two place we check didn't have them but we saw it at Home Dep. We went out to Home Dep.
We had help digging the trench for the water lines. We got there late. We start out having lunch. Brent drink some unsaft water yesterday and not feeling well to day. I think he learn to watch what he does that will be a change.
It potato planting time down here. They have a bunch of worker soring the potato. One group sort the rotten potato out. Another group sort out the big potato and the real small potatos. They plant them whole down here because the heat in the ground will spoiled them. They have a lot of equipment that work really well for them. The main tractor they like to use on the farm is John Deer. I needed to use the toilet there on the farm and it was quite a ride. I thought I was going to fall off of there. But before I fell off I gab the bucket of water that they use to flush the toilet with. Made it though OK. What a ride. That one of the project I going to fix. The door to the bathroom is about to fall off because the wind catchs it.
We went to the church to try my spanish but we were late Brent practice the piano. When we were done we went to leave. I didn't have the key thought I lock them in the car. But I left my purse in the church. We don't have a spare set down here. I get a spare for the house. At lease will have a set here.
We ate at little restaurnt that had a lot of modern Art on the wall but it was neet place to unwined at the end of a day.

Brent started the digging of the plumbing line out on one of the area of the farm. I help clean up around the area. We fill two truck load of trash which we took to just another part of the farm. At lease it clean the area we were in.
We dug up part of walk at the back of the building and found about 30 toad all in little hole under the walk there. The dirt was nice soft and moise. We left the toad to dig new holes for themselfs.
We were hot, sore and tired. We thought about getting prepared for tomorrow. So we went looking for the bread store. The one we went to the other day. While we were looking for the store Brent found the pineapple man. We stop and Brent got a treat.
We found the bread store and it was close. Something up they are normal open. Will find out another time. Brent had notice another bread store in our traveling around. I went in they had big hot dog bun. lots of sweet. But no loaves of bread. I got two bun for Supper and left.
We are low on maney and decide to turn in the gas receipt. We took the dig bottle of water to trade for another full bottle of pure water. While there the guys wsnt to get brent his torch. They went to get it and brent went with them and I went home. I fix hot dog with lime avacado and some tomanto. When Brent got back he love the the hot Dog. The guys told him there favorite place for bread. I was tired but we went look again for a bread store. This bread store has hambuger type bun and sweet but no loaves of bread. I got bun for sandwish for tomorrow.

Thur & Fri
We went back out to the area with a list of names with no address because they do not have address out there. We went with one of the lady we meet with the missionary. Asking people about people on the list. Lots of looking but no luck if they were LDS they didn't say they were or they sayed they were dead. Brent said we sure found alot of dead people today. We found people with the same name but there whole name they said was different. We did meet the few who were still active in there hearts which was wonderful.
Every body busy out there swipeing there dirt or tile floor. They are clean. People out there work for the farmers picking, weeding, and planting. They have buses that take them out to the field to work. While we were out there everyone was getting off work. we found a less 10 buses and past more as we were leaveing.
Every block has a little county store so you don't have to go far to get some thing to east. Here in the city and out there the place come a live with people going places. Most do not eat untill at less 8:00 or later. They take a big lunch break at 1:00-2:00.
Brent had to try some local food from a vented. I had my chooce of pineapple, coconut,apples, or papaya. I choose the pineapple. He quickly grab it and cut it up in to about thirty pieces. Put it into a plastic bag and ask me what I wonted on it. I ask what are my chooses. He said salt, leamon, or leamon chili pepper. I not trusting that the chili pepper might be hot. I went with salt and fresh squeeze lemon. I could not wait to tried this new concoction in my mouth. It was sweet, tart, and saltly all at the same time. Brent love it and could wait to give Connie a taste. I thought for a moment Connie was going to throwup. She didn't but did not wont any more. So there they have it new treat and two different reactions.
I didn't even miss that it thankgiving because it so warm. I didn't think about it. Maybe next year when I miss the family more.
11/24/06 another day spend looking and discovering.

First Sunday
The next day we got a ride with the mission Pres Clamo and off to El barrio Fuente for a mission conferance. He pick us up in a long white van, it took us about 45 minuets to get there. They had rented a small building to have the meeting in. They had a Electric piano with speaker for the mike. There wre 6 Elders there and before the meet was to start they had a boy baptize. So they had a short prayer and talk with of course a song.The people love the hymas because they were singing the hymas at the top of there lungs. It was great to hear that again, like my first mission. After the song and talk they took the boy outside to baptize him. They had a piece of plasic over a metal frame about 5' wide and 6' long. In jumped the Elder & then the boy and after two try the boy was baptized. They brought him back in. Sang another song.
The main meeting began and a bus load of people came in and then another bus load of people come in. We had a full meeting. The Mission President gave a set of E-S Reader to the missionary to hand out to the breaches in the area. The Mission Pres said he had a need for Us.

In the back yard there are one grapefruit and orange & grapefruit trees. That were the washer and drier are, they ony have cold water run to the washer. We are going to have the hot water run there, because we hot water to the sink. So when they run the water to the kithen sink we weill have them run water to the washer at the same time. Our first night here we had no hot water because the gas tank was not hook up yet. So guess what we took our first cold shower it wasn't bad but I wouldn't want to do it every day.

Los Mochis
We thought about doing breakfast at resaurion here. We step in the resaurion it smell bad and non of the food look like breakfast thing. We decide to leave the buffet behind and just get on the road.
(Brent) The next day we headed out to our final detonation Los Mochis is were we are to start our mission. The view was so different, there was a differant kinds of catus & catus trees. Catus grande any way a realy big catus. Tlower and so many differant kinds of plants that its hard to diseribe. We see alot of big moter house with the painting on the side. Big Boats being haul behind the moter homes or car. This part of Mexico has a four lane road like our freeway and wasn't bad driving but for the mosdt part the roads have not side to them. If you go off the road you crash. The side road is really steep. So I didn't sleep the whole trip here because I didn't wont to die. Once we stared to get to Los Mochis. The area changes and we started seeing what the area was going to be like it was all farm grounde. There was tractor every where we look like they flood irragate here and also have somke pivets. We drove closer to town it was like home.
(Connie) We head to Gaulopa on the way down to Los Mochis. As we got closer we come to a fork in the road Gaulopa one way and Ob something was the other way. Brent said no but I said that the next town on are way to Los Mochis. We went on to Gaulope. Little far down the road we come to the same kind of fork. Brent still said to keep going to Gaulopa. We come to another fork with say Ob this way and Gaulopa Central straight. Brent said to go straight and I said I don't think so. He insisted on going straight. Next thing I know we our going thought narrow city street with lots of traffic. There school kids in uniform in the middle of narrow street between the two yellow line in center of road using on hand to keep there skirts down. Collecting I don't know what. We drive on and go by a road that went to a ferry. We drove stright. We head into a industerial Area with not signs That I could see we keep going straight and turn a corner that said OB straight ahead. We slow turn back into the other roads. MY worst night mare about driving in mexico. I manage it just fine no Thank to Brent but I love him.
(Brent) We found the Hatches house and of course they were very busy. They had two big things going on the next day. So that night we talk and help them make 200 sandwiches. and about 10:50 thy took us to our room and we slept soundly on there solfter bed then motal. They had air conditing going it was great.

Traveling Con
I went to look for them and a lady stop me and said you look just like a Buhler from highland, UT I said I am the buhler from Highland. then she said do you know Ruby Buhler and I said that is my mother Well you could have knocked us over with a stick. I couldn't believe it, as we talk on I told her that my mother had 15 children and lost a set of twin in the hospitial. She said she work in the hospitial for years and was there when mom had the twin.
She had gone to school with Ruby before she was married. The Lady name Connie Bean and she live in Am Fork. Her maid name was Connie Christeansen. She remember share lunch with Ruby. I wonder if that were my Sister name came from. They head home in March and she love to talk to Ruby!
When we got to the snow bird place I ask if I could use the cell phone and she said of course So I again tried all the number, including lillian number which I wrote down wrong. I still didn't get anybody to answer. I am really missing my cell phone by now!!!!! So I call Alma just to hear a voice and he answed "Hello B-Z plumbing and I said Alma it so good to hear your voice. I love what he said next Dad don't worry about the business, were doing fine."
I said Alma I am not worried about the business. I just want to talk to somebody
the business phone have been busy all day long. Who else can I talk too then Alma said did you call Angela. She has your cell phone. What she has my cell phone! I said thanks Alma. We talk a little bet about the business and said good bye.
Now to call Angela, Ring, Ring hello B-Z Plumbing may I help you. Yes you may Angela were have you been, the business line has been busy all day long. I think the phone is off the hook. Click, yep your right, I thought that it was to quiet today she said. What do you need. Well the number you give me for Lillian was wrong, then I gave her the number, Dad it is 951 not 451.Then she ask me why I didn't you call me on the fax line? or the home line, I daid I called all the line. She said Oh, I just came down from upstair and then went outside with Raulf.
Anyway by the time I called everthing I had to explain to the couple the reason that i used the phone so long. So any way that was a great adventure and we had a great time. We got Rob parents call and they were ready when we got there. It was so nice to see them again.
(Mom part) In the morning we say our good bye and we were off to Mesa, AZ to get our car insurance for Mexico. We got there around 4 o'clok with little time. We didn't know were the Insurance office was. I took a guess to exit on 18th street. Dad was driving, so I was navigating. We stopm at car dealer ship to ask were the insurance office was? Dad call and we could of got off better we were just a little ways away. We got there a little before 5 o'clock. They didn't close we found till 5:30. We need a check to pay for insurance or cash. I left all my check home we would not being useing them in Mexico. We found a ATM across a busy street but it let get the money we need and little extra for travel. AT 5:20 everything was insured. O Angels we need to keep our insurance at home on the car active for this other insurance to work.
We went on to tusan for the night less trafficfor driving in the morning. We found nice motal for 53 dollar for the night. The only bad thing was we had a late dinner that night.

Traveling
We are on our way to our misssion. We decided to call Angela on the 800 number to let her know that we wanted to stay with the Mc Candless in Los Vages, but every time I tried to call the line was busy. So I thought that I would try again at the next gas station. Anyway as we traveled people would come up to me and ask me question about were we are going. Connie started to feel left out so I told her that if they were wemen they would have talk to her. Now back to the problem of calling Angela after trying all day we was at the last stop before Los Vagus, and lo luck on the 800 number, so I got some change from Connie and Strart calling our other lines. You You know the other phone lines. The fax line no answer, calling the home line no answer, and I call Connie old cell phone then the phone started eating my money. I still didn't get any answers.
I looked back at my wife and there was a lady talking to a woman so I thought, WOW, it worked!! Now Connie will be happy then THE NEXT THING i KNOW SHE WAS IN THE SIDE DOOR MOVING ALL OUR STUFF TO THE BACK. i STARTED THINKING NO WAY ARE going give somebody a ride, but guess what yep your right, we are taking not only one but two people to the next town, about 20 miles away. I went to liik for them.

MTC
We are busy learning to peach the Gospel, with the help of the book"Peach my Gospel." Dad abd I are finding it hard to team teach. So far he does a lessen or I do a lessen. We both talk to much.
Roy was in a car wreak and was life flied up to the U of U hospital. He broke his foot and injured his back. We got to go up to see Roy in the U of U hospitial. We got back at midnight. We found most of the gates close and we had to park are car in another lot for the new missionary coming.
He will need surgury thurday morning. We will check on him this week end and let you know how he is doing.
They have church member acting like investagyor that come in and we have to teach them the lessen. First we taught the Restoration and Second we taught the Plan of Salvation. We had a girl who was menially handicap to teach today. We adapt the lessen to her and she help us with the scpriture we needed. She helping her mother go to the Doctor and shopping because the mother can not drive.
Also we had a semianar with one of the twelve his name starts with a U. We love hearing him talk about the peach my gospel. They reserve a spot in front for the senior couples, and when all the elders & sister sang it was so wonderful, that I leaned over to Connie and said, this alone is worth comming on a mission for.
Our picture are at the Pair Photo shop on Main. Our scripture is D&c 88:67 And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light vomprehendeth all things
huggs and loves Mom and Dad
