This is a picture of a missionary, Elder David Nanez, from a small town in Peru who will serve his mission in Guatemala. He asked me one day after a class that I taught if I had any relatives in Peru. I thought that it was an interesting question and it took me a couple of seconds to remember that Christopher, my nephew, was serving his mission in Peru. So I told our missionary that I did and he was so happy. It turned out that Chris had been serving in his home ward before he left for his mission and it was kind of a link with home for him. These are great young people that we have a chance to work with. We took a picture together after church in front of the Guatemala Temple. Sorry, the sun was right in our eyes.







This is a picture of the fruit that a cashew nut grows on top of. The fruit can be used for a type of juice and the nut part is taken off the fruit and roasted in the oven and then the shell can be cracked off and voila, you have a cashew nut. It takes a lot of fruit to get a can of cashew nuts. Hope you all enjoy a little Central American culture.
