Preparation Day

P-Day started off in the usual fashion.  We slept in, had a late breakfast and headed to the mall to do our weekly shopping. We went to Tottus which is Peru's version of a Walmart.

Two essentials - ice cream & papas fritas.

"Not so sweet" corn and huge carrots.

Why would anyone buy snow boots and parkas in Trujillo?  I guess it is winter for the Peruanos but it feels like spring to us.

A quick lunch at Pizza Hut in the food court.
Bill should not take up photography!

At 4:00 PM, the Brother Rolando & Sister Augustina Baita came to pick us up in their car. It used to be a Taxi.  They had invited us to spend the evening with their family.  Brother and Sister Baita and their oldest son, Juan work with us in the temple.

They drove us by their ward building in Florencia.

Sister Baita likes to paint and showed us some
of her artwork.

We were introduced to the rest of the family.
Ana, Maria, Margarita, Augustina, Rolando, Juan & Abel

They set a beautiful table.

Our plates were filled with yummy food!

Augustina's mother (in the right hand corner) joined us for dinner.
It was a very enjoyable evening.
