Leadership Council - the first of some lasts

 Elder Winterton sang for us one last time, he goes home in June.  

As President Marler said during the meeting, we will miss him and the beautiful voice he shares. 

A training by Elder Brown and Elder Haacke, our last council meeting with him as our Assistant,

Elder Brown also goes home in June.

Some missionaries will be in the new mission before we have our next Leadership Council,

and there will be others that will arrive from the Chiclayo Mission.

 President Marler shared a spiritual message at his last Council of his 2nd year as a mission president.

 Sister Guevara goes home in July, and spent some time just visiting with good friends 

and getting lots of hugs! (w/sister Tulumba, Bravo and Assef)

 Elder Singh, Elder Rereba, Elder Winterton and Elder Andia.

Spaghetti from the Gingo Loco Restaurant in Trujillo

And one of the waitresses of the hour, Sister Angell.

Everyone enjoy lunch before running off to have pictures taken and to play futbol.

 Our darling sister trainer leaders. Sister Bravo, Sister Tulumba, sister Perez, Sister Reynolds,

Sister Hidalgo (back), Sister Assef, Sister Carrera and Sister Rejala.

and let the game begin….

 Watch out Elder's, Sister Rejala has played professional futbol!

 Now Elder McClelland makes quite a fashion statement with those socks, while Elder Garcia and

Elder Gonzales dig in a play hard!

 Waiting on the sidelines.

 Elder Winterton will go home with a few less brain cells.

 Elder Heward and Elder Claros face off.

 I really hope Elder Bates is the goalie since he is running with the ball in his hands. 

Or perhaps he is getting ready for next football season at college!

Elder Bates also goes home in June.

Sister Hidalgo and Elder Garcia, did they get the goal?

Activity Day with President and Sister Marler

The Esperanza, Laureles and Central Zones enjoyed their P-day with President and Sister Marler.

Elder Leavitt taught us to play "Human Fuze Ball" 

Elder Huallapa and Sister Paiva go for the Gold!

and Sister Marler lead some team building games and activities.

One of the team building games is called the Centipede Walk…here we have two teams on boards and the teams need to work together to get to the end of the course.  Elder Singh is doing a terrific job with his team, all working together!

Then we have Elder Claros' team, as you can see without teamwork (note the tail of this centipede) there is no success.

Another favorite game is the "A-Frame"

Here the team helps one person "walk down the course"

We divided in to teams for a tug-of-war

Of course, we are in Peru and our activity day had to include time for soccer and kicking an American football.

 Elder McClellan performs a little parkour

 …and of course this activity day had a little jump rope competition…winner…Hermana Portillo

Elder Spencer behind the lens of his camera…

and a great group photo of everyone.

Thanks everyone for a perfect day.

 Now it is siesta time!
