Saturday, after General Conference, we attended our first Peruvian baptism! Santiago moved here a few months ago to marry Kendall in January. He had been learning about the Church when he was in Peru, then in an effort to get to know more members, tried the LDS Singles site and met Kendall. It took a long time, but they finally were able to arrange to have him move from Peru to Kansas! He had been meeting with the missionaries here and decided to be baptized on the special day of April 6th. He was baptized by his father-in-law, John Goodman. Congratulations! We spent a delightful evening with the family last week, learning about Peru--good food, good buys, weather--and having an opportunity to practice Spanish! He was very encouraging! He told me that Peruvian chocolate is absolutely the best in the world! I knew there was a reason I should go there. He thinks gold should be a good buy in Huancayo--hmmmm! I liked the dessert recommendations--arroz de leche (rice pudding) and tres leches cake (3 milks).
