Our service today was the most fun ever...We cleaned the streets with brooms and dustpans…yep, that is how they do it here, the the best part ever, we got to drive the "trash-bike-carts" around town. We cleaned, we had races and we got a great work-out during our service project.
Elder Zavaleta "drives" the trash "bike" while the street sweepers sweep and pick up trash

Elder Boekweg and Elder Leavitt organized the Helping Hands service project and had a great time riding up and down the street collating garbage, tree limbs and getting a great deal of exercise!
Elder Rittscher and Elder Almonacid would drive to a dirty area, stop the cart and fill up their dumpster…everyone worked hard

It looks like Sister Marler took a day job… thanks for the help Elder Huayhuapuma
Just so you know these carts are really heavy and the beach cruiser attached is no match for the weight of the cart. We have new found respect for the people of Trujillo that keep our streets clean.
