We think this wood comes from the jungle and we aren't sure who buys it...maybe the people who bake the bread?

Cuy or guinea pig is a delicacy here.  We haven't tried it yet.  This one is still young.

   The Nazca Branch Young Women are all decked out in their finery for the Gold and Green Ball.

We looked out the window and what did we see?    Cometas or kites everywhere....There were over 30 kites and 100 people in the field across from us.  There aren't a lot of open areas big enough to do this.

First Day of Spring

People of all ages were out celebrating the arrival of spring.  However, we hate to see winter here go.  We've enjoyed the cooler weather.  Days have only been in the high 80's and nights 60 or 70.

Home Again!

We enjoy visiting Lima, but it is always good to get back to Nazca, although we can feel the heat picking up again already.  It is supposed to be spring, but we got out the fan and put away the bedspread.  A sheet is almost too heavy and we don't hit summer til December. 
Attendance hit 120 in Nazca Rama Sunday. 
The families in San Marisio had a family home evening last night with 25 people attending.  They held it in the little passageway in front of the houses there.  The Elders helped bring a TV from down the street and every one brought their own chairs.  The Prodigal Son was shown and they talked about the importance of the Savior and repentance.  What an experience! 
And a girl stopped us on our way home to introduce her sister who wants to be baptized.
It's great to be back!

Dr.  Loo is our dentist in charge of our crowns.  Fortunately, we have very skilled people here to work on us.  He comes in on his day off to get our work done as quickly as possible.  Normally, the crowns are a 3 day process, but he always manages to get ours done in 2, so we can get back to work.
