Our Friends from Argentina

We meet the most wonderful people here in Nauvoo and the Salas family, well, they left an indelible imprint on our hearts. Visiting from Argentina, this sweet family stayed three days with us at the Inn. Tom enjoyed speaking Spanish (he served his mission in neighboring Chile) with true Latin Americans.

Elida’s English and my Spanish were limited but smiles and hugs knew no language barrier. Neither did their kindness of sharing treasured treats, Rhodesia candy bars (brought as a gifts from home for a daughter and son-in-law), with us as a parting gift…..a gesture that taught me much about giving from the heart.

Hope to see them again someday. Maybe in Argentina next time!

To the Salas Family:

We have such sweet memories of the time you spent with us here in Nauvoo. Your kindnesses and gentle hearts touched our lives and have remained over the months since we met. What a wonderful family you have. May you receive Heavenly Father’s richest blessings.

Much love,

Tom and Jeanette
