Papa, Mama, & Daryn's Visit

Tuesday night, July 5th, my parents and Daryn arrived for a 10 day visit. It had been almost 5 months since I'd last seen them. So, naturally we tried to make up for lost time by cutting out our sleeping hours... not completely though. Below our some pictures (71) of our time together. We did a lot of cool things together - watched the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace, ate, watched a girl faint in the middle of her saxophone solo, ate, went to Plaza Italia and watched a thief make his living, ate, kept Mama prayed through in traffic, ate, toured the Museum of the Inquisition, ate, had church, ate some more, played Masterpiece, Clue, Scrabble, we also ate a lot. Daryn ate his first Pakay and Granadilla. We made Papa Rellenas with Teo (and ate them, naturally). We went to the beach, Mira Flores; we ate a lot. Bro. Jose took us to the Hipodromo de Monterrico to see the race horses. We had an all around good time. Enjoy the pics!

This little boy got the Holy Ghost 

I couldn't get a decent picture of the guy in the middle because he was bouncing around so fast. I'm not sure if he got the Holy Ghost. But I know he sure got a blessing.

The whole church lined up and greeted them after service. These are just a few pics of that.
