This past week we also did a huge service project as a zone. There was a member family whose house burned down when their propane tank exploded. No one was in the house when it happened which was a huge blessing. But we had the privilege of tearing down the old a building up the new, JUNGLE STYLE. The method of building houses here in the jungle is really a bit different from back home in the states as well as Lima. More or less it’s like building a model for school out of toothpicks, lol. We used poles and of course the house is raised up off the ground. It was really quite a process but it was really great. We got to wear t-shirts which read “Manos Que Ayudan” (Hands that Help) and we served our fair share of Lemonade. The house we built back in Lima isn’t anything like the house we put together here in the Jungle, but I still had just as much fun.

Wow! This photo brings back memories! I served in Iquitos, Peru ten years ago--from the looks of things, not much has changed! Thank you for sharing the photo. When I was serving there, I wasn't allowed to use cameras. The mission had just been re-opened to north american missionaries. Anyway, send Elder Schofield my best wishes and tell him to make every moment count. Also tell him to have fun. There aren't many missions that seem like a two-year camping trip. The church is TRUE!
