We thoroughly enjoyed the card that
we received from the Elmers and his
assistants. Just double click on it.
The 13th of April has become a very special day for us. We were sealed in the Lima Peru temple by President Bowman, the temple president, for eternity. President and sister Elmer had just arrived that day from the provinces. We were joined by many of our friends here in Lima and 10 of the missionaries from our mission. We worked at the office until just after 4:00, dashed home so Karen could "freshen" up, the we caught a bus to the temple with 2 of the sister missionaries. We lucked out because we were just ahead of the 5:00 rush traffic so we arrived earlier than we thought we would. We had not eaten so we crossed the street and went to a Chinese restaurant and got a bowl of soup. The ceremony was beautiful and was performed by the temple president, President Bowman. As we looked around the room at our friends and our missionaries, our hearts swelled within us. Aterwards we were honored at a small reception at the temple presidents home given by our dear friends here. It was a beautiful, perfect event. We rode home with president and sister Elmer instead of taking the bus.
