We have told you about some of the many small miracles that happen at the office each day and each week. On Friday we were on the telephone for nearly six hours with the Global Service in Orem, Utah to fix our computers and so that we could have Microsoft Outlook working properly. They wanted to take over our computer through the modem and said that we needed a special cable and adapter as seen at the right. A little background. Karen is a clean office freak and everything is in its place and put away. A month ago she and president Elmer went through a box of old cables, cords and telephones and threw them all out. Well the people from Orem said that we needed this adapter and blue cord in order to hook up the modem to the computer so that he could take over the control of it. He said there should be a light blue flat cord. We looked everywhere. As we were talking on the speaker phone I noticed down on the floor by Karen´s desk was a sealed plastice package with the light blue cable in it. The fellow said we had to have the adapter also. At once I felt prompted to go into the supply closet and look up on the shelf over on the left in a small box. There in the box in a sealed pastic bag was the adapter. No one seems to know how they got there. Karen never allows things to be on the floor or out in the open on top of file cabinets etc. It was just another of those small miracles that seems to happen each day and each week.

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.
