Easter Egg Hunt the Mexican Way...

This picture shows how we did Easter—Mexican style—as well as including an Easter Egg Hunt and several Vernon-family reunion style relay races, 3-legged races, and games.
The boys on the left charged each time a mighty swing spilled a few pieces of candy as the giant egg became more and more fractured.
Our mission president sent us the note, below, describing how the Outreach program has attracted the positive attention of Elder Richard G. Scott as well as a group of Mission Presidents. We are delighted, gratified, and also a little scared. (Kandie probably isn’t scared).
In another picture, attached, a can of olives from Costco in Fukuoka was again a success at our busy planning meeting, Wednesday night. Everybody also likes Calpis shown in the foreground. (As you all probably know, when you say that in Nihongo, it sounds like…..). Also, Bill’s former mission president (Komatsu) called today on the phone to see how we were doing, and mentioned that he received a letter from Bill and knows that his new job hunt includes Japan.
Tonight, Kandie and I caused a minor stir when we joined in with the YSA-center dancing. It was fun to seem so apparently casual and faultless while dancing the ballroom steps that everybody had been trying so hard to learn. By contrast another attached picture shows tonight’s much more complicated Japanese-disco-ancient ‘odori’ combination that seemed easy to everyone. Maybe our outward attempts to suppress dancing (mostly my attempts) are happily working in reverse—a Ripley’s believe or not-level wonder, said one of our leaders, as I mentioned before. Love, Dad
