I worked on my blog. Babette got a sunburn at the spa, A giant step forward One of the families from the Buena Vista Branch of the Chulac District.  An “incredible” week at the Temple “April 16th through April 22nd ... was an incredible week” began the Guatemala City Temple president in his weekly blog to family and friends, speaking about visitors from Chulac District.  My only interaction with them was at the recommend desk.
