Well it finally happened. We changed the district president in Andahuaylas. Here we are with President Huayapa, President Mamani, and President Cardenas. They have all worked very hard but it was time for a change. I have grown to love them very much and it was hard to release them.

 I couldn't resist this picture. This is the daughter of President Cardenas. The picture does not do her justice. She could be one of the dolls in It's a small world in Disneyland. I asked her if she wanted to come and live with me and she said she would like to.

Couldn't keep the missionaries out of the photo. This is the new president with one counselor. Probably everybody remembers Raul Quispe, he is the new president. His counselor is Charles Pena, and Ricardo Martinez.(Not in photo. Brother Pena has a little beard and I asked him if he would shave it and his wife was so happy. I went about four months back to interview people and find a new president. While I was there the missionaries had a baptism and President Quispe was helping out. I was watching the baptism and the spirit was so strong telling me that he was the next president. One problem, he didn't have a phone. How could we communicate if he didn't have a phone? We went out to take pictures like they always do and he pulled out a brand new phone to take pictures. I knew then he was the man! He has a lot of work now because he has to replace himself and needs to change the other branch presidents too. There are people there and I know he can find them.

We have had a busy past few months.  Elder Christensen came and Elder Uceda there wasn't time for regular zone meetings and English interviews so this month we finally celebrated the last 6 months of birthdays.  These are the May birthdays at Cusco, Intri Ryami, and Sicuani Zones.

Just one more Denes with his care that Paylen sent.

In August with brothers

Here are the three Ranchers on the way to Ollantaytambo with some alpaca.

Here are the three brick masons at the famous rock wall.  They really appreciate these big rocks.

Quique

So this is really weird but Quique asked us to go on a field trip with him and his girlfriend. He really is divorced and this girl was tending his daughter in spain. When he would scype his daughter he would talk to this girl too. She is from Ukraine and speaks Russian. I think she actually came here to meet him and has stayed for about six or eight months. She is learning spanish.I think they really like each other and I really think Quique is making plans. She is very nice and sweet and I think they really like each other. We stopped at this little zoo on the way to tipon ruins and the lady hooked me for ten soles to take this picture with this parrot and this little bear or sloth or whatever it is. It ended up biting my finger. Our calling is member leader support and I figured this fit into that category.

 Here are our sexy women in Saqseywaman

All I can say is "INCREDIBLE" Our visit to Machu Picchu with my brothers and their wives.

My Brothers came to visit and brought some little dolls from my grandkids. One of the funnest things we have done is give these little girls a doll. They can't believe we are actually giving them a doll. I wish I had a hundred of them

Hermana Valdebenito

One of our favorite sisters going home. We love Hermana Valdebenito. Everybody keeps asking her if she needs help with spanish but she is really from Chile.
