Talent show

Zumba is so much fun!! Today Reid Cornish hosted a birthday party for him. He is a down syndrome kid who is turning 31, he is always happy and so sweet, everyone loves him.  He is so smart considering that he is still a child and will always be but does some very amazing things like working at the temple and skate boards like a pro. I told him I would do a zumba dance because Zumba is my favorite fun thing to do so I did and got everybody dancing!



There are a few things I will miss when we moved from Santo Domingo. One is walking around the Ibero- Americano park with Daniel at night and the Zumba class each night at 6 and 7 pm. Many years ago, some ladies  in the old Canyon Rim stake had dancing classes every morning for the ladies of our stake so dancing to music while exercising is not a new thing.


People come from all over the city for the Zumba, the otherday I saw two ladies that work at the office with Daniel who live so far away but lucky me, I get to just walk across the street. It is such a transformation from what that park looked like when we moved five years ago. It was all ugly and had nothing other than  some caves. The mayor of the city had a meeting one day to disclosed the new project. People didn't believe it would be true but two years later, is a reality. Now entire families visit the park. it has swings and playground for the kids and places to ride a bike and skate of just go walking.  One of the sections is dedicated for exercising with many exercise equipment and that is where they held the zumba class each night. They also have a beautiful amphitheater for entertainment. It would be nice for the BYU ambassadors to perform there someday since is just across from the temple.
