DOORS OF LIMA

THE DOORS OF LIMA AND THE AREA!

     Missionaries all learn the skillful art of knocking on doors and sharing the Restored Gospel to those who will listen!  I thought I would share some of the doors that our missionaries knock on here in Lima and through out the five countries in our area.  In our area, many homes are guarded by walls, grilled entries, protected courtyards, and many beautiful doors.  The owners seem to have a sense of pride about their doors, as you will see!

















 This is a beautiful carved door and is my favorite!


You can see an outdoor living space next to their door!





This door is in Quito, Ecuador at Mitod Del Mundo!










The next three doors are on cathedrals in Quito, Ecuador.
