Election Day

Today is the federal election day in Peru, and we are confined to quarters. The law says "no public meetings on election day," so no church, no choir practice, no nothing. If we do go out, we have to stay away from polling places like schools and watch out for any potential riots or public demonstrations. And being Americans, we might become someone's target for political disgruntalment. I'd go out and take pictures, but we've been advised not to. 

Our happy Virú Zone: it seems odd, but we have parties in the chapel.


They're singing Primary Happy Birthday songs...so cute!

Happy Birthday, Elder Herrera! 

The Three Equadorian Amigos 

Zone Leader Meeting started with a temple session.

It's  hard to get everyone first try. 

Happy Hermanas!

Yeah, we're sisters. 

Super heroes from Casma

We go through a lot of birthday cakes.

Name that Peruvian fruit.

It's a moto moving van!
