After spending Sunday at the CCM, we drove to Cerro Azul and spent Monday on the beach. We had a blast and all got burned. Kimberly attempted surfing, Matthew and Courtney chased a lot of birds, Carie, Katie, and Courtney thrilled the little Peruvian children with their tumbling routines on the beach, and the boys helped the fishermen pull in their afternoon catch.
On Tuesday the girls were able to do baptisms for the dead at the Lima temple. We were joined by missionaries from the CCM. It was a beautiful experience to watch as one sweet elder was baptized for his grandfather by his companion.
That afternoon we drove in to the centro and visited the cathedrals, the catacombs, and the Plaza Central.
On Wednesay we got up early and flew to Cuzco. We spent an amazing 3 days here. The children loved feeding the llamas, alpacas, etc, and visiting the many ruins. Machu Pichu was amazing and we all made it to the top of Huaynapichu -- the big mountain in the back! Courtney and Matthew were by far the youngest hikers and inspired the rest of the tourists who were making the steep ascent! We were literally in the clouds!
These are only a few of the 100s of pictures -- it was an amazing trip!
