July 28th is Peru's Independence Day so the schools were closed and the kids had the week off. These are some pictures of a few things they did this week.

On Sunday, some of the kids helped Padre Juan Carlos with his sermon by holding up portions of the Lord's Prayer. From left to right: Juan Diego, Marta, Rosa, Tamara and Padre Juan Carols. |

Jimena and Wilber (on the far right) showed off their work from Sunday School class. |
 |
On Monday, Padre Daniel took the kids (and me) to a nice restaurant called Fong Mey. The kids requested Chifa which is a blend of Chinese food and Peruvian food. |
 |
Once the food arrived, everyone dug in. |
