Valentine party for the branch

 For valentine's day we made cinnamon rolls.

 We took them around to some of the members' houses.

 Early Saturday morning we went to the butcher shop to get our beef ground.

 Luci made about 15 meatloafs with 30 pounds of beef.

 I taught Thalia, from Belize, how to make cake, frosting, and brownies. We made 81 cupcakes and 45 brownie squares with cream cheese frosting.

 Her youngest son, Jeson, showed Alan his karate moves. After taking them home we went to the church and put up streamers and balloons.

 In the courtyard of the church house, with a few of the 70 people that came to eat and play.

 Hitting the first pinata.

 The second pinata, made by Heydy, our primary president!

Everyone going crazy over the spilt candy. Then, we had games and cleaned up. We got home about 10pm.

When we got home there was no water again. The 450 gallon tank had filled up this afternoon, but we think that our flow control valve, which is supposed to prevent our water from leaving the property, is faulty. So once the city quit sending water, our tank sent all it's water back to the city. Nothing left for us...

Fortunately it rained again last night, Alan got up at 4am and put a bucket under the drain spout to catch enough water to use to flush our toilet for the next morning. We are hoping to have water running again when we get back from church. :)
