This is as we enter Wongs. The escalator goes upstairs where they sale electronics and housewares. Notice the Toyota car in the forefront.
At the checkout counter at Wongs.
This shows how the fruits and vegtables are displayed. Just like a Albertsons.
This shows how they display and sale the bread. They are all very good.
This is Wongs. It is 4 blocks from our apartment. This is our grocery store.
We have now been in Peru about 10 days. We are now settled in to our apartment. We had to go to the store and buy several things.
The weather is the same every day. The high is in the low 70's and the low is the low 60's. It is overcast each day and it burns off by around noon and then we can see the sun for a couple of hours. It is now officially spring here. Everything is green.
We have been to a Combined Zone Conference. Last Monday we went to the Area Family Home Evening. At 2:30 we met at the Temple and then 10 couples went to the Museo de Oro. (Gold Museum) We saw more gold than I have ever seen in my life. From there we went back to the temple where there is a nice Chineese restaurant where we all ate. Here in Peru we have 4 mission headquarted, an Area office, a Temple, Missionaries working in CES, Perpetual Education, Health missionaries and americans working in the Embassy.
The president of the MTC was in the mission field with me in 1963.
The greatest thing that has happened is as we have gone to the super market we met a young man that would help us with our groceries. Because we had so many he helped us carry them home. We asked him if he would like to know about the Savior and our church. He said yes and we start to teach him this week. He will come to the mission office to be taught. We also talked to a young lady that does our laundry downstairs and she is interested also. So we may be teaching 2 discussions soon.
Our Spanish is coming along. The one thing that I fear is talking on the telephone. I have a hard time hearing. Our mission is larger than normal because of the Bolivian missionaries we have received. We will be getting another 10 coming out of the MTC that was scheduled to to there.
