First family we visited. :) Lander in front and his sister Andy, Jesse baptized them
Jesse left his name in the cement at the front door that he fixed for them, this is Lander
Lander's mom came home before we left, Jesse baptized her also!
This is in his last area, La Chalaca...awesome people!!
Second family we visited, they haven't been able to be baptized yet. They really want to but they are having trouble getting back to their birth place to get their birth certificate. So sweet :)
Third family in La Chalaca, Jesse baptized the sister and reactivated the husband. They cried when Jesse told them goodbye :( Wonderful people!
Off to see the Hernandez's so excited to finally meet them! They took such good care of Elder Stauffer when he served in their sector. We ate with them, we had Papa John's Pizza!
Next day, off to see the Lima, Peru Temple! We ran into one of the wonderful sisters that Jesse had for a teacher in the CCM. We are facebook friends and it was a pleasure to get to meet her. She teaches the missionaries Spanish.
This is Jesse's Pension, she fed us! It was sooo good! French fries and chicken and she even had fry sauce that she put on them :) Thank you Anna and family!
Another two baptisms for Jesse and we went to meet them...this is Camilla and her mom :)
We went on a tour to this place, it was telling us about the Inca's that lived in Lima, they loved gold!

Off to church in Barranco where Jesse went to church as Assistant to the President. This is a baptism he had while he was there, Mirian and her children.
