Our six missionaries, Elders Barry, Rodriguez, Worsham and Briggs and Sisters Coombs and Gonzaga arrived at 5:00 p.m. for dinner. Joe Elmer, our president's brother, brought us a spiral sliced ham from Cost Co. After eating a scrumptious dinner of ham, turkey, salads and mashed potatoes, Kay read/told the Christmas story intermingled with us singing Christmas hyms. Our window was open so our neighbors and the guards at the end of the street heard our sweet heart felt singing.We had a very fun time together. The missionaries left at 8:00 p.m. to go to the office to make their phone calls home for Christmas.

There are hundreds and hundreds of little vendors selling their wares from clothing, dolls, purses, jewelry etc. We didn't buy anything but got a good idea of some of the things that they have.

One of many highways in Lima. This is Avenida Arequipa that runs north and south. Maybe 9-10 blocks from our apartment. During rush hour this road will be packed.

On our P-day we went to Miraflores and ate at a fantastic restaurant just above the cliff. The tall building in the background is the Marriott hotel. The name of the restaurant was Mangos. It was buffet.
