Elder Jared Vasquez


We had a wonderful experience over the past 3 days. All of you remember Claudia Rodriguez who, with her mother and brothers, lived in our basement in Mapleton for nearly 2 years. Marge was very involved in helping the family immigrate to Canada in the late 1980s. They moved to Calgary. Claudia married Hector Valsquez and they have two sons, Jared and Pablo.

About 6 months ago Hector's Canadian company asked him to take an assignment in Havana, Cuba dealing with a power plant joint venture with the Cuban Government. So they moved and now live in Havana. Hector tells us that there is a small LDS branch with about 25 members. And, I believe, that he and Jared have been teaching a family who now want to join the church.

Anyway, Jared received his mission call to the Budapest Hungary mission and went into the Provo MTC today.

The rest of the family is on their way back to Havana.
