Hello Fishers.
We are looking forward to your serving with us in the Lima Temple. We are loving our experience here. We have been here about one year and have been amazed at how fast the time goes.
It sounds like Sis. Ramirez will fill you in on the clothing needed here. We did wish we had brought more P-Day clothes. We are in the temple 8 hours a day, but at home we don't have comfortable clothes to wear. I have worn my robe most days and have been glad to have it. I did throw in two lounge dresses that I wear in the warmer weather, but for winter a pair of sweats would really be nice. Because there is no heating or cooling in our apts. we dress according to the temp. In the winter I like to do baking to heat up the house a little and we vent the dryer into the house in the winter. It is already so humid that a little more doesn't seem to matter.
We have a great FHE group of English Speaking Seniors who are serving in Lima. Because we have the MTC and Area Offices here we do have some great people serving in all areas of the church. We take turns giving the lesson and doing refreshments and meet on the first and fourth Mon. of each month. We go on adventures together and see the city etc.
As to books. Don't bring anything but your scriptures. There is internet access to so much and we really need very little. When we talk about a lesson in FHE we mean something from the Ensign, or such. It is sure not fancy and we just love being together. We are one really big family.
As a FHE group we are going to a Silver Factory tomorrow. They also have an outlet store there, so we can spend some more money. We try to do things around the city and usually make it out about once every two month or so. Not very structured, but fun. We women like to go shopping at the Inca Market where they have the crafts etc. of Peru. It is a great place. So fun just to look.
Many good times are had here in and out of the temple. Sat. the temple was really full to overflowing and we were so happy to have all of those special people there. I love the busy hum of the temple. It is really too small for days like that, but they seem to love it anyway.
We would be glad to answer any questions you might have. We are getting another new couple in May. They are from Calif. and neither of them speak Spanish. That means for about one month there will be three English Speaking couples in the Temple. That will be very nice.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Kay and Steve Cordon
