Our Last Twenty-four Hours in Peru
John and I became good friends during our months in the temple. We managed to always put a smile on the face of the other workers. John comes two day per-week on Thursdays and Saturdays and always brings his big dimples. He brought his wife and little daughter to meet us and say good-by.
Brother Green, who worked as a security guard here, also brought his family to say good-by. These members brought us small gifts, which they most likely can not afford, to express their love and friendship. President Cardon and Sister Cardon invited us for dinner at the MTC. They have also been someone special during our mission. They return home in January and President Cardon plans to do a Triathlon with me next year.
Christian phoned six times last night, so I will go to the bus stop to meet him at 6:00am in the morning.

Dinner With The Lopez Family
We are in the same ward as the Lopez family. Sister Lopez is a hoot and lots of fun. Hector, her son, and I became good friends during the time his fiance was taking the missionary lessons. She joined the church and Hector is waiting the required year before they can marry in the temple. This family has been part of our lives for the past year and they went out of their to have us for Sunday dinner.
Chicha Morales is a Peruvian drink made from sweet purple corn. They also make a sort of purple pudding from the corn called Mazamorra Morada which was served last night.
According to some "(Chicha is a Sweet, cool, purple fruit juice made from purple corn! Indigenous to the Inca Natives of Peru in South America, it has a yummy, refreshing flavor. It's definitely worth the time it takes to prepare it! You'll get rave reviews from friends who try it." ). I like it Kris does not.
Soccer Is a Serious Game In Peru.
Sunday soccer in Ate (pronounced At-tay) is usually filled with violence and often death. This pictures were taken in front of the temple as the streets started to swell with hundreds of police and thousands of people several hours before game time. The stadium is about a mile from the temple and the temple guards were worried about my safety when I stepped out on the Javier Prado to take the pictures. June 23, 2013.
Sunday Dinner With Alan Lopez and Brother Lopez and His Family
We planned to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon in our apt. But after church we had dinner with old friends. Hector, his family and Hinder are some of our special ward friends.
