Life In A Snow Globe

Well  it's early spring in Moscow and just when you think all of the snow is gone it starts up again :)


Walking home from Commissary.

Not snow again!

Cheese!


                                       Feels like life in a snow globe.





Where's your coat!

I Love to See the Temple!

Settling into life in San Salvador has been an adventure. Everyday life can feel overwhelming, and we are still figuring things out. On weekends, we rent a car to do our shopping and try to carve out some family time. One of the most beautiful things about our new routine is that when we go to church on Sundays, the San Salvador LDS Temple is right there, just across the parking lot. I often wish I could take the feeling of the temple with me wherever I go.                                     One particular Saturday, I had just had enough. I had slipped in the shower three times, the boys were rowdy, the news was filled with worry, and my heart felt heavy. I needed peace. I turned to Mike and asked if we could drive by the temple, just to find out how attending worked here. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for—just some reassurance, some grounding. When we arrived, we walked into a building where p...

Exploring Jardín Botánico Plan de la Laguna

Yesterday, we visited Jardín Botánico Plan de la Laguna, a hidden gem in Antiguo Cuscatlán, just outside San Salvador.  Nestled in the crater of an extinct volcano, this lush botanical garden is home to over 3,500 species of plants, towering trees, vibrant flowers, and even some curious little animals.   We wandered through winding trails, crossed wooden bridges, and found peaceful ponds filled with turtles and koi fish.  It was the perfect escape from the city—cool, quiet, and absolutely breathtaking. Instead of telling you more about it, I’ll let a few more pictures speak for themselves! If you ever find yourself in San Salvador, this place is a fun visit!

Our First Easy Hike in El Salvador: El Peñón de Comasagua

Last month, on Feb. 22,  we took our first "easy" hike here in El Salvador at El Peñón de Comasagua. I say "easy" with a bit of humor because, well, let’s just say I’m not exactly in peak hiking shape. But considering that I had neck surgery less than a year ago, I’m incredibly proud of my progress! The hike itself was both exhilarating and challenging. The views were breathtaking—literally and figuratively. As we made our way up, I had to take several breaks, and that’s when I remembered something important about myself: I’m actually pretty scared of heights. Whenever I paused to catch my breath, I’d start shaking a bit, a mix of exhaustion and sheer nerves. Still, I powered through, step by step. The weather was hot but absolutely beautiful, with the sun casting a golden glow over the landscape. We were also given a unique experience—police escorts through the village and throughout the hike, which added a sense of security and made the journey even more memorable...
