4/22/09 Karen's birthday

Double click on the cards to read
















Today was Karen's birthday. The office staff totally surprised her
with a beautiful and delicious cake that they went together and
purchased. They had made and


signed just for her. They sang
happy birthday in Spanish and English. We have a video but it is after the fact. She really chocked up and truly appreciated what they had done. Karen is dearly loved by all the missionaries and especially Pres. and sister Elmer. She had a very fun day.


Earlier in the day she and I and the two sister missionaries went out to buy medicine for sister Figueroa so she would have a 90 day supply as she now goes home. We took the sisters to lunch at Pardo's and they sang happy birthday to Karen at the restaurant..

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.
