Day 177: Dinner with the Bay Clan

Bill Bay is one of two American mission companions (all of the rest were native Peruvians) who served with me in Peru . . . well, a number of years ago. We were paired together for only a month-and-a-half, but we enjoyed a great deal of success during that time and got along famously, and he has remained a good friend over the years.

This week, he and his family, who live in Florida, have been visiting family (Bill's parents are serving a mission in Heber City), friends, and the sites along the Wasatch Front, and I'm glad that he got a hold of me and arranged for us to go out to dinner together tonight.


The plan was to go to Bountiful's Peruvian restaurant, Rico Pollo, only it turned out to be closed for the day, so we journeyed to nearby Robintino's to enjoy some delicious Italian food. It was good to catch up with my old companion, as well as his wife, Kristen, and their daughters, 11-year-old Gabriella and seven-year-old Gina.
