For those of you, who what to goto conference in Salt Lake.  It is
well worth your time and money.  They usually have a good speaker.
On a side note,  Mickey's talk two years ago, was really great.

Plus there usually are classes that are taught by:  George Ryskamp,
Lyman Platt, & Ruth Schirmacher (these are some of the regulars). 
Also Mimi Lozano has taught some years.  The remainder of the classes
are taught by people, from the LDS Family History department, and
other members of the Legado Latino.

The last two years, they have given out a disc called the "Latina
America Resource disc",  which has all the research helps that the LDS
 Church has for Latin America, in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

And they only charge $10.00, for admission.

Their website, is currently down.  It comes and goes, especially
around October, when the have their conference.

If anyone, wants to come.  I be glad to come and see you.

Thanks,
Jonathan
