 On the 13th of September Apostle Dallin H. Oaks visited Lima, Peru and several of the Missions in Lima were able to attend a special meeting with him.  Elder Oaks is the second Apostle to come to Peru since we have been here.  Apostle Quentin R. Cook came just shortly after we arrived to begin our Mission.

Leaving from the Mission Offices.

We have a busload of happy missionaries.  We filled five big buses to get all of our missionaries to the Mission Training Center in central Lima.

A quick picture of the scenery on the way.

Getting of the bus at the MTC, entering the MTC and going into the chapel.

Elder Oaks and his wife talking to the missionaries with their translators.

Our missionaries from the Peru Lima North Mission were asked to sing a special number:  Elder Sánchez, Elder Anderson, Sister Bowe and Sister Barrera.  They were great!

There are many different kinds of food that you can eat here in Peru.  These pictures are going to make you hungry!!

Last week we did a tour of the old parts and new parts of Lima.  It was a lot of fun sitting on the upper deck riding through the different areas of Lima.

It was a busy day in Lima because it was the second day of their independence day.

So many small fountains and other plazas to see.

The liberator of Peru, José de San Martín.  

Walking on the streets was quite an ordeal.  You were just pushed and carried to where you wanted to go.

Our tour took us along part of the coast line.  Love to be so close to the ocean.

Some parts of Lima are very modern.  One place all tourists visit is The Park of Love.

Did we mention how nice it was to be close to the ocean?
