This is the mother and brother of one of Robert's good friends from his mission (his friend was on his mission at the time) that we visited at their shrimp stand in the market.
This is a family that Robert lived with on his mission. The parents would try to keep the little boy from going up to where the missionaries lived, so they told him that a big cat lived up there and would eat him if he went up. So, when he would get curious, Robert and his companions would "meow" at him to keep the story up, thus earning the little boy the nickname of "Meow". He remembered Robert when we visited and still had the bike Robert and his companions gave him right before Robert was transferred.
This family Robert converted and helped get ready for the temple as well.
Robert taught this lady and her daughter, although I don't believe they joined the Church while he was there. The mom is a judge and her daughter had just been married when we visited.
This last photo is of a family that Robert taught. They have five daughters and one son (the boy is in blue next to Robert) When we stopped by to say hi, they practically forced us to allow them to feed us before we left the next day. When we got there, they had made this dish called Mole (said mo-lay) and a pink drink from a flower and were very concerned when I didn't eat very much because I had gotten sick from the heat and all the Mexican food up to that point. A very sweet family.
