Happy Birthday Elder Rose

 Natalia, Luke's adopted mom in Corrientes, threw a birthday party for Luke.  I don't know if the tradition is if you are leaving they throw food at you or if they do it if it's your birthday.  All I know is that he got blasted with food.  :)  They went all out for his party and took his baby picture and used it on a little banner for him and for the party favor bags (or maybe they were gifts for him, I can't tell)  Here is my correspondence with Natalia...

We are very sad because Tuesday is gone

Oh my goodness you are too kind! Thank you so much for celebrating his birthday. He is going to miss you so much

We love him too much. We will miss him very much. I just cry and cry. But tomorrow I promise to feel good so he doesn't get sad.

Tomorrow if you can we want to make a video call to sing happy birthday to you.
