July 2013

On one of our many trips to Talara, we went to a little town called Negritos to do room inspections, this is just some of the homes by the road as you drive into town, it looks like its laundry day.

 Every couple of months we do a training with the sister missionaries that live somewhat close to Piura.  We are sad that the Tumbes sisters are just too far away to come but we will be having them down in a few weeks.

 The end of July is Peru's independence celebrations.  This year all the JAS/YSA in our mission had like a youth conference in Piura and on one of the nights they put on a cultural talent show spotlighting traditional Peruvian dances.  These are just a few fotos of the evenings talents.  The week before we were in Paita with their YMYW for their cultural dance night, it was fantastic.  We took some pictures with Chad's phone and if we every figure out how to transfer them I'll post them too.  I love their beautiful costumes.


 The grand finale.
 
 It is Zone Conference time again!  Here is Zona Paita.
Zona Miraflores
 Zona Talara
 Zona Sullana
 We had Zone Conference in Sullana with the Talara Zone.  One of the Bishop's in Sullana with his family provided lunch for everyone.  This was the pot - full of rice.  The picture does not show how really big this pot of rice was, ALOT of rice.
