Ned & Mary Argentina

  Temple Trip Fund Raising The third week of December, we are scheduled to make the 3.5 hour trip to the Mendoza Temple as a ward.  (We become a ward the 29th of this month.) We will get to Mendoza on a bus that we hire to carry over 50 of us. That is expensive so we are completing several fund raiser on Saturdays.  Yesterda was our second run at making and selling empenadas. A special meat, onion, egg, etc. mix is prepared in advance and then inserted in raw bread discs, doubled over, sealed and baked. Before baking, raw egg is brushed on top. (That is my job above.) We have a good time together when we do this and the product is delicious.

  Herrera Family Birthday Gathering - Nov. 1, 2026 We and the four young missionaries serving in our branch were invited to a family birthday lunch by a part-member, mostly less-active family. One of the sons is sitting across from Mary. It was a wonderful Argentine meal - empenadas, grilled beef, homemade/cold pizza and various salads.                             Here are other family members - a daughter (Marta), a son (Marco) and grandchildren. The grandma, Mabel was hidden behind a grandson when I took this picture. It was her birthday. Here is another view of the food. It was all very delicious. They love their carne asada.
