Happy Birthday, Elder!

   Somehow I missed publishing the post about Earl and his birthday!  We were wondering what we should do to celebrate and decided to go to a nearby restaurant that we like.  A friend asked what our weekend plans were (The birthday was on Saturday, the day before the US Mothers' Day.)  We mentioned the restaurant and invited the couple to go with us.  Then we invited one more couple.  Soon we ended up with 10-12 people with some of them inviting others!  It was a fun evening.  Finished the dinner with homemade gelato that the restaurant features.  Earl had a good time and there was no stress!
\  The next day we were in Quisqueya.  Sister Miller, Primary President, had invited us to have dinner with them.  She didn't know about the birthday.  I had told her I would bring some dessert.  Just bought a small cake and some candles.  After a delicious dinner--sort of a pot roast with vegetables, we celebrated with the little cake.  I had brought Nutella (Dominican version) to spread on for frosting.  They REALLY liked that!  Here are a few shots of the event!

Brother Miller was not feeling well that day, so he was in the other room.  Left to right we have Yeime, the Millers' daughter, Sebastian, a nephew, Sister Nereyda Miller, Ashley, a niece and in front, the birthday guy.
