Training in Salt Lake

Prior to coming to Peru we spent 3 days at the Salt Lake Temple
along with 16 other couples going to temples around the world.

At our home the morning we left.

On the plane in Salt Lake

Welcome friends to our mission blog. We are safely in Trujillo and tomorrow will begin our second week as workers in the temple.  

We left home on Friday August 14 and flew to Atlanta and then to Lima and then to Trujillo, arriving here Saturday morning.  

We were met at the airport by President and Sister Casos, our temple president and matron. We were happy to see them and to finally be here.  They have made us feel very welcome and at home.  They showed us our beautiful apartment, It is a very wonderful.  President and Sister Casos, and the other couple missionaries were so kind to put some food in our fridge and on our shelves so we would have something to eat until we were able to go to the store on Monday.

Saturday afternoon President Casos set us apart as ordinance workers and gave us a tour of the temple It is a small temple but it is very roomy and very beautiful  You should be able to find pictures of the interior of the temple online. 

Our first breakfast scrambled eggs and toast

Saturday night at the temple

Monday is our day off from work at the temple. We needed to go to the mall to get some food  and there was a lunch planned for the senior missionaries at the mall  The Hartman’s invited us to go with them so we rode in a taxi to the mall.  The mall is similar to many malls in the US.

Sister and Elder Nield, Sister and Elder Haws, President and Sister Marler, Sister and Elder Hartman, Sister and Elder Fackrell, and Sister Vaughan and Sister Angell.
