After our shift today we went for a late lunch at our local Rodizio here in La Molina. Thank you Paco and Lucy for the recommendation. We have a list they have provided of very good restaurants in the neighborhood. The meat was as good as Salt Lake's version and it was less expensive, about $16.00 per person, maybe half price of the Trolley Square place? It was a short walk for us and we had time to get in our civilian clothes. Steve worked longer than we did. Currently, we are working from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM daily. We really do work close to 8 hours a day in the temple and sometimes longer when required.
We had the missionaries from the Lima CCM (MTC) with us today and it is always nice to see these very new missionaries come to the temple. Their shoes are shined and polished, they speak little Spanish, their suits are fresh and their shirts are not yet threadbare. The missionaries in the field in Peru can attend once every six weeks. There is often quote a difference in the wear on the clothing. Missionaries who have been here awhile soon lose the new look as shoes become worn and the cuffs and collars of the white shirts indicate wear. And the ties have been tied many times. Mothers in many places in the world have to be proud of what they have taught their missionary sons and daughters too. The Sisters always look better than their male counterparts. They all have a fine spirit about them. We even met an Elder from Centerville Utah. One of the Essig boys, maybe the last or the youngest I think he said.
I'm glad you have found good restaurants in Peru and of course enjoying your mission. When you talk about the new misionaries it makes me think in Jeffrey that soon will be living to the mission, I am very happy for him as well. It is always good to hear exciting things happening to great friends. Keep the good work.
