Fireside at Magdalena Stake Center



On Sunday evening we had a special fireside in our Stake celebrating the fifty year reunion of the Andes Mission. I spoke as did President Tyler, Isaias Bravo and other early stalwarts. This picture is with Isaias Bravo who was one of the first Stake Presidents here in Peru. We knew each other back in 1961. I told the story of going to Albertsons in Bountiful some time in the early 2000's. I ask the checker where she was from and she said Peru. I found out she was a member and from Lima. I ask who was your father and she said Isaias Bravo. She still lives in Bountiful.

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.
