Mothers day


On Mothers Day Karen was able to talk to both of her sons and their families and to actually see all the grandkids via Skype. The yellow flowers she received from our Family Home Evening group. The roses came from her son Scott. He called me a couple of days before Mothers Day and I had the office elders go pick out some flowers for him and while he was talking to her by way of Skype the elders brought the flowers to her. It was a very enjoyable day for her to get to see and talk to each of her 8 grandkids and to actually see her newest granddaughter, Chalyss for the very first time.






Karen had made a chocalate chip cake earlier in the day and elders Tito, Neuenschwander, Briggs and Gurr quickly took care of it.

Inka Shops

Inka Shops
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.

Highway

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.
