Lines of Nazca

The spider is one of the figures Maria Reich studied in the desert.

Nuevo a Nazca

7 moto taxis appeared in Nazca last week.  Joni Joseph is the proud driver of one.  He suffered an allergic reaction to some medication that ate his skin, but has recovered and hopes to serve a mission.



Togetherness

   Elder Chacon finished his two years this week so we had a farewell supper on Pday.

Stairway to heaven?

We asked the neighbor if this staircase was for his dog to go up and down from the roof.  Actually, he builds them here and then takes them where they go.  Usually, he delivers things on the top of his car.  This might not fit.



Only in Nazca

If we came home to a house full of water in Idaho, we would have to get a pump and fans to take care of it.  Here, all we had to do was open the front door and sweep all the water out.  There was only about 3 inches.  It was like our own private wading pool!

Then we went to the church for meetings and when we came out President Tarque's car battery had been stolen.  He offered us a ride and when he started the car there was no power.  He opened the hood and there was no battery.  He said he couldn't leave the car there overnight or nothing would be left.  So he  borrowed a battery, started the car, took the battery out and drove home without one.

We found a young man the other day who was baptized in December and works all the time.  He wants  to serve a mission, and asked us to help him get prepared.  That makes two prospective missionaries we are working with.  Everyday never ceases to be amazing and we simply know we are where we are supposed to be and being taken care of.

We picked out our Christmas tree in July.  It's probably not going to reach 6 feet before December.

We looked out the window and what did we see this time?  A car in the middle of our flower garden!  Since it was 4 in the morning we didn't get a picture, but now have no garbage holder and little fence left.  The car was high centered on one of our rocks for a 1/2 hour.
