Okay, so yesterday there was an activity planned with some ladies from church.
We were going to meet at the church building then carpool to Grande Case for
some sort of cultural fair..... so I thought. I arrived to a surprise Baby shower for our
upcoming baby! It was soo fun!!
All thanks to Debbie!!
Here is the party planner herself!
I've also been busy helping put together the life history of these two ladies!
They are some NEAT gals who have survived quite a lot! We made them DVD's
and are working to get their life stories published in the church's newspaper.
It has been great to get to know the locals better! They are seriously full of mischief!
I can't wait to do a few more life histories before we head home in August.
They take a lot of time, but have been soo fun to work on!
There was also a cruise ship that had a group of about 60 members of the church stop in for the day. They wanted to do a service project while they were here, on their vacation.
So, they painted the church building. It was fun to meet them.... mostly from Salt Lake County.
The ladies in the church put together a HUGE lunch for them. It was a lot of fun... I wished I could have helped more... but I was mostly running after little Holdyn.... who also LOVES to paint and get painted :)
She did sit at the lunch table for just long enough to get a picture with Izaak and Anabel.
A young man, Chakeem, was also baptized last week. He chose to be baptized at Le Gallion Beach. It was neat to be there... early.... on a Saturday morning. Ben gave a talk before the baptism and it turned out GREAT!
Here we are with our Sr. Missionary couple... the Coleman's, who we LOVE! They are being transferred to the office on Trinidad so this is their last week here. THey've been here for 8 months. We will miss them but are excited to see who comes next!
Here we are just after the baptism. The winds were perfect for the windsurfers who were just getting started when the baptism ended. Anyway, that is a quick update with the fun we are having with our church friends!!!

I love how pro-active and involved you are! What interesting experiences. Sounds like a great setting for a baptism.
What a nice thing to do on their vacation! Your church building looks just like the ones in the Dominican Republic...only with really pretty paint on the outside now! :)
