The Nazca Hummingbird

Our friend Alexandra shared a tender moment with us as she expressed her gratitude to see the Nazca lines with our group. #peruvianHearts

This is Gerado. He’s a member of the #lds Church in Pisco. He’ll be leaving on his mission in a month to Brazil. He works in the gate for touring the Nazca lines.

The streets of Lima.

Boarding to Lima. So grateful for newfound friends in Cusco.

Taking a quick tour of Lima. A few times I felt like asking am I on a street in South America or Europe?

Again, can’t say enough about how awesome it was to spend time with these young ladies.

These girls are incredible: so talented and self-confident, yet ever grateful and humble. It’s been a privilege to spend just a little bit of time with them.

Maribel was full of emotion as she told us that it was always her dream to go get an education, get a job, and be able to come back and improve her parent’s house. It was moving for all of us to help realize part of that dream today.

Neighborhood kid checking in to see what all these goofy Americans are doing.

Very few people know this, but Peruvian attire was apparently all the rage in Jerusalem in 30-35 A.D.

Saddleback Caterpillar. My inner child loved all the different bugs and butterflies.
