Learning to Make Peruvian Food

I have had a goal to learn to make Peruvian food while I was here on my mission, 

but I am usually busy with the missionaries, writing talks or keeping up with the blog,

that I haven't had time.

I decided that after living here for two years, it was time.

I invited in the other "older sisters" 

and Alicia spent the day teaching us to cook.

Lomo Saltado.

Aji de Gallina

and

Maracuyá juice

We had a wonderful day together, then served

the dinner to our husbands.

What a fun time, 

something to take home and remember this day over and over again!

Senior Missionaries, Interns and Temple Builders...

Last night we invited our Senior Missionaries, The Fenn's and The Tenney's to have 

Family Home Evening at the mission home.

The Fenn's are here to build the temple, and the Tenney's are here with an Internship from 

University of Utah (go red-Scott that one is for you!)

 We ate a wonderful meal of Lomo Soltado and visited with one another. 

 Lomo Saltado is a meal typical of this region of Peru, a beef dish with onions and red peppers, and yellow aji peppers, maybe it is like a Peruvian version of fajitas.

 Look at those beautiful Mangos and Pineapple…you can't go wrong in Peru with the 

great fresh fruits and vegetables. 

 We had a wonderful Family Night lesson, shared a little about ourselves and finished up with a little dessert.
