Lahtinen August 2011

John moves in to Building #9 Helaman Halls at BYU
This hall is new, and has not been named yet,
so it is just "#9". It is a very short walk
 to the northwest end of campus.

John gets settled in his dorm room

After getting John moved in, and finishing parent orientation,
Duncan and Jane are guided on a hike, by Paul, Kaden and LaDawn Osborn.
It was 98 degrees and higher elevation than Spokane. It was tough.
Time to get in better shape!

The hike was to Stewart Falls up by Sundance.
The spray of the falls felt great on this very hot day.

Elder Lahtinen was transferred to Cerro de Pasco, Peru on June 27, 2011
Cerro is 14,600 feet in elevation. Mark struggeld with altitude sickness
the first week or so. After that, he just got used to not breathing.
Cerro does not have any heat, and it snows year round.
Water freezes at night, so you have to wait to take a shower, until it melts, around 10am.
Cerro is one of the highest cities in the world.
