First District outing




On Febuary 3 we were called to be District leaders. We are over four missonaires. We had our first outing on Feruary 15 with 2 district and the zone Elders. We had our meetings and then they wanted to go to Chili's for lunch. Boy you should of seen the food they ordered. You would thing that they had not eaten for days. Here is a picture before the food came. I wish I had one with the food.

Market place in La Molina



Feb 6 2010. This was our first experience with the market in La Molina. Just makes you want to buy and eat the chicken doesn't. Although I have to say the fruit at the market was fantasic.

New way to water lawns



Feb. 1 2010 When Elder Noall and I was walking throught the park on the way to the store we saw something very unusual. It is a new technology in water your lawn. So there can never be an excuse to have your lawn die because you don't have the money for a sprinkler system. All you need to do is drink lots and lots of water and have a very sharp knife.

Doing what Alan does best


While we are trying to cooks Alan sneaks in to taste the food.

My first cooking lesson on how to cook Peruvian food





One Saturday January 30 we went to Libia's house for my first cooking experiance on how to cook some Peruvian food. I learned how they make Lasagna and Papa a la Huancaina. In return I taoght them how to make chocolate chip cookies. What a fun day.

What? Posing for a picture



January 23 2010. At our day at the zoo we had an unusual thing happen to while watching this huge Sea Lion swimming around. We were watching him when he came up to the window sat there and smiled at us for 20 seconds or so. He did that a couple of times. Imagine that a sea lion who love to have his picture taken.

Outing with the office Elders



January 23 2010. Elder and Sister Noall tagging along with the office Elders to the Zoo. Some of these Elder you would guess that they never have visited a zoo in thier life. It reminded me of a kid at a candy store for the first time standing in awe.

Meeting Mission President



We meet President Leyva on Monday January 11 2010 and later that night we went to dinner with his wife and son. What very special family they are and the spirit they radiate. Our assingment is to be over 4 wards in the area of the Peru Temple. We will be here for a year and possibly be sent up in the Mountains somewhere the last 6 months.

We Arrived

We arrived in Peru on January 11 at 2:00 A.m. We got to our hotel and got settled in for the night which was not very long. We were up at the crack of dawn to be to chruch at 8:00. We greeted the people and sat through sacrament meeting. Our next sacrament meeting begun at 10:00. As we were sitting there listening to the talks we were seeing double at the pulpit. We were very glad when we were able to get back to our room for a rest.

MCT Experience

We arrived at the MCT if Prove Monday January 4 2010 and left on Friday January . We spent and incredible week being taught how to teach the gospel in a very professional way and how to teach with the spirit. We learned technigues how to teach the gospel more effective. There was an special spirit that is here that is hard to discribe. It fills your whole soul. We met some wonderful people. In our district we had some incredible people and had lots of opportunities to shed tears as the spirit touched our hearts. It is an experience that we both will never forget.
