840 Days in Peru





Missionary Christmas Party 2014


Mission Christmas Party #1            December 18, 2014

Mission Christmas Party #2             December 23, 2014

Elder Carmona  getting ready.  Bringing up the supplies for Christmas packages
more getting ready


Making Christmas cakes for the parties.  Frosting was very messy.  The Peruvian pastries are not as sweet as in the United States.  They don't use frosting on their cakes.  

On the day of the second party, we went out to get in the van which was filled to the top with all the party food and goods and it wouldn't start!  Had to get a jump.  When we got it going, it started to honk and wouldn't stop.  It  had some kind of electrical problem.  We got all of the things out of the van and into the car and pushed ourselves in.  We made it.  They came and took the honking van away and fixed it.

Repacking the car.


Pictures of the Christmas Parties and all the fun we had........

We played a game of passing around the gift.  Each missionary brought small gift wrapped, then we played passing around the gifts.

Each Zone had prepared a skit.
