First Week at the Temple

We worked in the Temple every day this past week.  Monday was by invitation only and regular patrons started coming on Tuesday.  We moved into our apartments on Tuesday as well.  They are beautiful.  We hardly feel like we are living in Peru.

We have filtered water and an ice maker in our refrigerator.  There is a little bacony off the living room and a washer and dryer in all the apartments.

One of the best things is the underground tunnel going from our apartment to the temple so we can dress in whites and go straight to the temple and back home again.

We were told it didn't matter where we went to church and we have been encouraged to try several wards in order to get to know more people.  This week, Miguel, who works in the temple laundry, wanted to take us to his ward.  He attends the Chimu Ward. He said he would pick us up.  We wanted to pay him but he said he would only take chocolate, no money.  He has been married 6 years and has a very cute family; wife Susy, son, Samir, age 4, and James, age 2.

Bill and I decided to attend a primary class since we thought we could understand the children better than the adults.

There is no air conditioning in the churches so all the windows have to be opened.
There is too much light in this picture but we wanted to show the kids.
