Saturday Adventure Yanahuara

Today we rode the blue bus to Yanahuara for someplace to go. It is always fun to go with Wayne. We enjoyed the sun, and watched people as they came went. Quite a nice place.

Yanahuara is known for its buildings built from siliar, a pearly white volcanic rock. It is on a hill, it over looks the beautiful city. If you look through the arch, you can see Misti, the volcano. I got this picture off the internet.

While we were people watching, Wayne bought me this hat I'm wearing and this Peruvian bracelet.

I LOVE US!!

We wqait3ed and watched for the yellow bus to come back to take us back up the hill to the temple.

Tonight I was able to finally finally make a good batch of cookies. With the altitude being so high, it has been hard for me to baked things and have them turn out the way they should.

Trujillo Plaza de Armas

3/3/2020

Monday

Today is our last day in Trujillo!

It's Monday so the temple is closed. We are just going to enjoy the day.

We went to the plaza and we remembered why we like it so much. It was nice to sit and relax and just watch the people.

At about 7:00 pm, we got a message from James Fenn. They were visiting the Italian family who are their friends. On their way back to the temple, they got Glovo to deliver some food. We hung out with Courtney outside the apartment area. James took a long conference call with the Arequipa mission presidency. He is the secretary.

We really had fun hanging out with Whitney. The Fenn's have been so fun to get to know and they've been really good ministers to us. We love them and appreciate them so much. We will see them when we're back in Arequipa.

Tonight we packed our stuff, we need to leave the temple grounds at 6:30 am to get to the airport for out flight back to Arequipa.

Family Home Evening Quintanilla Style

Family Home Evening

3/2/2020

Tonight at 7:00, Wayne and I were invited to family home evening with the Quintanilla family. We got on the Huanchaco bus and rode it to their place. It took us all these years to figure out how to ride the bus to the Palermo.

5 years ago when we went to our first sacrament meeting in Trujillo, we went to the Palermo chapel. This family and their group of friends welcomed us in as their family. This visit was no different. We had the BEST time! We love them all so much and are so grateful for the wonderful examples of ministering, fellow shipping, and just being good people they are.

The families are:

Quintanilla

Haro

Tirado

Valdivia

Brother Quintanilla gave a wonderful short lesson about listening to the spirit. it was simple but so good. We had chicken, rice and green salad to eat with chocolate cake for our dessert. It was wonderful.

After the lesson, we had a good time listening to musical numbers and laughing as we enjoyed the evening with these families who are like one big family.

The Valdivia girl is 9, she sang Edelweiss in English. It was sweet.

Jeffrey Qintanilla was face timing the whole evening. He is going to school in Salt Lake with his brother Diego and Hyrum Tirado. All of these boys are engaged.

Diego is getting married to Vanessa Hernandez on June 5th in the San Diego Temple.

Jeffrey is getting married to Tonya Azabache on June 26th in the Trujillo Temple.

Hyrum is getting married in July to a girl from Mexico and I don't remember the day or where.

Kevin and Joel Haro are dating, no wedding plans yet.

Joshua Valdivia is married.

We had such a good evening and enjoyed it all. It is fun to see these families growing, they are fun to be with, and you can feel the good spirit they have about them. We are blessed by these wonderful families and so glad we can in some way be a small part of their lives.

We are so blessed!

At 10:30 pm, we all realized it was late. We got a taxi and went back to the temple and to our room.

The Group

This afternoon we were going to eat lunch at Squalos, one of our favorite restaurants. The temple employees had a HR meeting this morning with some one from the area office in Lima and they were going to lunch at Squalos too. We went with them. Wayne paid for our lunch and the area guy paid for the rest of the lunches. It was fun to be there with our temple worker friends. We feel bad Carlos wasn't there.
