We are Home !!

Our trip was a wonderful experience. The very best parts were when we could meet with the members and the missionaries. Machu Picchu PALED in comparison, and I'm not joking. I'm working on getting pictures posted in the next couple of days. Please be patient :)

The Annual Fire Picture :)

We lit the burn pile on fire, just like we do every year on Thanksgiving. It was covered in snow and sure smoked alot, but finally got going. Unfortunately Mark and his family were not able to be here this year :( Enjoy the pics !!
