I'm a Grandfather! (Kind of, uh not really)

Well, to be a REAL grandfather, you need to have children, and I have none.  Someday, after I am married.  But, even though I don't have children, I DO have a son.  Two actually (in the LDS mission sense, ie. missionaries I trained).  My first is Jorge Andres Morales Soto from Alajuela, Costa Rica.  The other is Alberto Juarez from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. (I need to look up his full name... sorry Beto).  I will update soon with the full names and accents soon... Here are photos.

Elder Morales (Area El Nopal, Ahuachapan, 3 months as companions, 6 months in area)

Elder Juarez (Area Las Colinas, Juayua, 3 months as companions, 9 months in area)

Anyways, I went down for Beto and Vero's wedding last year for Spring Break in March.  It was my first time in Guatemala.  Beto emailed me telling me Vero [Veronica] was expecting and now the new arrival is here!

Les envío algunas fotos de mi hija!!!
 
Se llama Astrid Elena; nació el viernes 16, a las 19:15. Pesó 6 libras y 15 onzas.

Translated it means "I am sending you some photos of my daughter!!!  Her name is Astrid Elena; she was born on Friday 16, at 19:15 [7:15 pm].  She weighed 6 pounds and 15 ounces.

Congratulations Beto, Vero, and Astrid!
