Goodbye from inside the elevator

Happy Mother's Day balloons for sale.  If you decide to buy one, you have to really hurry before the light changes and the cars all start to move.

Balloons anyone?

This was a dancing skeleton.  We stopped at the light and enjoyed a little laugh.  

Our missionaries are out on the streets too.  This was an open house for our family history library.

Missionaries talking with everyone about family history

Family History we are doing it here in the Peru Lima Central Mission....

We are opening our buildings so people can come in and find their families

Missionaries and members working together

Hermana Wardle and Hermana Madsen spent time with each one of the missionaries teaching them how to find family names, and helped them fill out their four generation chart in the booklet they are holding up, Mi Familia 

We had  a lot of our Elders find names to take to the temple.  

Elder Kidd and I found out that we have the same great, great, great grandpa!
