On Friday Karen and I went with President Tyler and his daughter Rebekah To Abancay. It is about a 4 hour drive from Cusco. We go from 10,800 feet in Cusco to a pass that is 13,200 feet in elevation and then drops down to 9,600 feet in Abancay. Rebekah just came to Peru after finishing her mission in Phoenix Spanish speaking. The altitude didn't bother us one bit.
There are 5-6 peaks in Peru that are higher than anything in North America. This is one of them.
On our way to Abancay we stopped to see this rock that is carved out to represent Noahs Ark.

Our room at the Turista Hotel. The decorated walls are not wall paper but painted.
Some of the beautiful flowers in the garden at the hotel.
We are standing in front of the Tamburco branch
The other picture is across the street from the chapel.
On Saturday Karen went with the sisters to their baptism. The Abancay zone has never had more than 13 baptisms in any given month. This month they had 23 and 15 scheduled for next Saturday.
The sister quarters.
The baptism service. While the missionaries were at the baptism the President and I were at a District Conference where I had to speak.

missionaries. All are present but one companionship. We had a very good visit. All the missionaries are working so well that the president doesn't want to make any changes in the companionships other than elder Hildago goes home this change
