Elder Gutierrez, Elder Duce, Tanner, Elder Given, Elder Hilari
It was so fun to see them together - they were so happy.
At the end of the day we drove out to the temple grounds on our way back to the hotel.
It was a big temple and the grounds were beautiful.
P-day for breakfast before we had to leave for the airport (it took them 2 hours from their area on the metro to get to the financial district of Mexico City where our hotel was). We rewarded their efforts by taking them out to brunch where they could load up on some good food - it was fun. We got to hear lots of mission stories, and just get to know them a little better. Tanner said they were the best missionaries out there and after being around them I can see why - it was wonderful to spend our last day in Mexico with them.
Wish I could tell you some of the wonderful things these Elders said about their mission service. But once again I would fail to do them justice - just ask me about it. They were incredible.
The trip to Mexico City far surpassed all my expectations. It was more spiritual, more fun, more emotional, and more rewarding than I would have ever expected. To see Tanner back in "missionary mode" was pretty special to witness too. Can't say enough about it all - but the blogging is officially done :)

Faye, this Elder Given is tall. Everyone looks shrimpy next to him. Wonderful pictures.
I enjoyed every minute of your trip and don't think I'll ever forget that picture of that tiny girl clinging to Tanner. So precious. And this was the best thing you could ever done for Landon! He'll be out and serving before you know it.
Tell the President for me that every talk he gave was outstanding!
Sounds like a great trip for all of you! I'm so glad you were able to have that experience as a Mom, and what a great experience for Landon!
