Stake Conference in the Guatemala City Stake September 7th, 2014

Sunday September 7th the Stake Conference for Guatemala City Stake was held.  We sat close to the front and enjoyed the talks and Stake Choir sing in Spanish.  The choir consisted of both Guatemalan members and North American Senior Missionaries.  It was beautiful.  The talks are spoken in Spanish and for me (Kathy) it is a little difficult to follow along so gratefully the Stake has very talented members that translate for those in the congregation that are not fluent in Spanish.  I had a headset to listen to it so I didn´t miss any of the important messages.  The pictures that follow are of the floral display, choir, interpreters and of a little girl age 8 or 9 that sat next to me. This beautiful little girl, age 8 or 9 sat next to me at Conference yesterday. She was with her grandparents and I was able to exchange a few sentences in Spanish with her. I was telling her that her hair looked beautiful. Her Grandmother told me that previous to last nights hair cut, her hair reached down to her waist. So Elder B asked if he could take her picture with her new haircut with his iPad which she readily agreed. She is a beauty and very very sweet. She watched me put a stick of gum in my mouth, unbeknownst to me and then stared at me. I figured out she wanted a piece also so I offered it to her. Of course she smiled and nodded yes....unspoken language in love.

 She just had her waist length hair cut the night before. Notice in the background how they greet each other.
