Hey, what do you think of this?
A little lady who lives south of Mexico city about 45 minutes, sells fruit in the market place. She goes to a different little town each day to sell her fruit. One day she shows up at the mission office there with a bag of money. She wants to go to the Salt Lake Temple to get her endowment. The mission president has the elders put her on a bus, they call ahead to El Paso Texas for someone to meet her there and put her on a bus for Salt Lake City. The Spanish branch in Salt Lake is notified. They pick her up from the bus station and have a place for her to stay. She goes to the temple and is sent back the way she came. When she arrived back at the mission office in Mexico City, the elders were wondering how she got along when she spoke only Spanish. She said someone taught her the words for apple pie. So wherever she went, when the bus stopped, etc. She said "apple pie." She was gone several days. She was overjoyed with receiving her endowment! And she seemed to get along just fine eating lots of apple pie!! :)
Love, Mom
Apple pie is my favorite!!! It was in the Liahona, not sure about the Ensign. We have two elders in the office right now both from Mexico City. Elder Rincón the head AP and the other over 67 houses Elder Suaste. They both went to the high school Beniemerito that was just made into a hugh MTC for all the Latin families that have matured in the gospel that have all these young people ready to serve missions! Lots of Americans went on missions to Peru, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. and now those members are sending their grown children and grandchildren on missions in huge numbers!
