little invadors

"Little Invadors" is the name in Spanish of the movie Aliens in the Attic. We went to the movies with the Salazars Tuesday night to see it, and it was surprisingly funny! Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the Dias de Espectador, so it's about a dollar per person. Here is Michael, their son, in the mall.

Remember the baby Mandy, my namesake? She's doing good. Since she got her hair cut she looks just like the baby in the first Ice Age movie! When Forrest told her mom that, she said, "Yeah, you're not the first to tell me that!"




















While Daniel, one of the need-greaters here is in the US right now taking care of business, so we've been studying with one of his studies, a dentist. He's really enjoying the study, and he sounds pretty positive about coming to the meeting with his wife. Last week he told us a little about his background, working with the mafia in Lima in organ trafficking. He wanted us to know he feels like God helped him escape all that and leave Lima and come here.

Here, the only fast food is pollo a la brasa. It's rotisserie chicken cooked over open fire, but basted in this amazing tasty sauce. They serve you 1/8 or 1/4 of a chicken, with fries and salad. Well, our friend Roger from our first congregation here, Ingenio, just opened his own polleria. He is from Arequipa, the province known for having the most delicious food in Peru (well that's what some say.) And he has a completely different seasoning mixture for the chicken. Forrest was able to figure out what the secret ingredient was, but of course, I am not at liberty to say here what it is. That's where we're going for chicken from now on though. We went out with Richard, another friend from Ingenio. He recently graduated from MTS, then the other 2 MTS grad elders in that hall were sent out, so he became the coordinating elder. At 25 years old!

Tomorrow we're going to Asuncion for the C.O.'s visit. We're not sure if we're just going for the day or for the weekend. Depends on transportation.
