Odds & Ends

We haven't done anything very exciting lately so I will just post some pictures we have taken out and about. Bill took these two pictures from the Taxi.

Two to three blocks from the temple is a crematoria.  We never know they are there until they start working in the middle of the night.  The stench can literally wake you up from a sound sleep.  They don't seem to have a way to filter the smell and keep it contained within their own walls.

This picture shows all the missions in Peru.  When Bill was here 50 years ago it was called the Andes Mission and included all of Peru, the northern part of Chile, all of Bolivia, all of Ecuador and all of Columbia.  Today there are 13 missions just in Peru.

I think I mentioned before that one of our favorite things is the tunnel from our apartment to the temple.  We are able to dress in our temple clothes and go back and forth for sessions, shifts, lunch etc.

Down the stairs.

Secure keypad opens to stairway to temple.

Up the stairs and turn left to enter the temple.

                 These pictures show the water filtration system, etc. in the basement. 

The elevator.

Secure door and keypad into the missionary apartments and common area.

Two cute little sisters working in the Distribution Center on the main floor of our building, Sandra & Jessica.  Many of the people down here actually have American names.  Interesting!

Cleaning the exterior lights.

Working on the grounds.

We found some good chocolates and caramels in Peru.  I guess I won't
be losing those extra pounds after all.


The herd is growing.  I can't seem to resist a cute llama.  If I don't get this obsession in control I may not be able to get them all home.

Here they are by our Noah's Ark picture.  Don't they look like they
are ready to board?
