Always cooking for the missionaries

The families that came down brought us three blocks of cheese and cans of enchalada sauce. Karen immediately cooked for the elders and made enchalads. L to R. Elders Tito , Hales, Martin, Eck, Cooke, Malale, and Harper with sister Cleverly. Sister Elmer aptly dubbed sister Cleverly the Cookie Queen of Peru. She has baked hundreds and hundreds of dozens of cookies for the missionaries. We thank all of those families that have sent chocolate chips, brown sugar and other sundry items to make this possible.

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.
