Sunday

OK, I haven't done very well with the day-by-day posting!
Sunday: We woke up and went to church. We chose a Spanish ward to go to so we would get the "real experience." The chapel was small and was filled with folding chairs - no pews. We we welcomed by EVERYONE who came to church that day, and there were all kinds! It was fast Sunday which meant testimony meeting, and I could not believe how eager they all were to share their testimonies. Although we don't speak Spanish (shocker!), we could understand enough, and Brandon could translate what they were saying and you could certainly feel the Spirit. The thing that stood out the most about their testimonies was that no one told stories of their kids, or soccer teams, or family vacations - they were all testimonies of Jesus Christ. The closing song was "I Believe In Christ" which we sung in Spanish (again, shocker!) and there was not a dry eye in the chapel. It's been a long time since I've felt the Spirit so strong... it was incredible!

Since it was Mothers Day we had reservations for a Champagne Brunch after church. I had a hard time with the food while we were in Cabo - everything made me nervous. It was very nice, but I think I'm not a buffet in Mexico kind of gal! This iguana was happy to eat what we didn't...
After church we went back to a different resort, but on the same property. It's called the Pacifica, and if you've watched The Bachelor this season, it was a destination date! It is a holistic resort, so it is very quiet, no kids allowed, and so peaceful. We stayed there a few hours and enjoyed our Pina Colada's by the pool.

We decided to take a nice Sunday drive to Todos Santos, a small "historical" town about 40 miles away. It was mentioned in all the books as a beautiful place to visit and shop. It was the ugliest drive that lasted FOREVER - and when we got there, the town was closed!!! We were all kind of grumpy on the LONG drive back. Luckily we had a GALLON of cheddar cheese waiting for us!!!
