More snorkeling










Well we have got 3 more hooked on snorkeling that thought they were scared of what was under water. Unfortunately, they also got burned on their backsides because they snorkeled so much!
Here are some pics of these newbies.

We also found another wrecked ship and Jenny and I swam out to it, this time without seeing any sharks. I did prepare by looking up information on how to avoid a shark attack and what to do just in case. Hit the shark in the eye, gills or nose if he comes at you. Don't play dead - it doesn't fool a shark. Don't swim crazily but either stay still or calmly swim away. And the most important, if you do get bit, try to stop bleeding. Hmmm....

So a few more pics of our underwater adventure and of the beach.

We had an awesome thunderstorm yesterday morning before sunup and I got some great video but inadvertently deleted it :( . Hoping for another chance. We went to meeting yesterday and after meeting one of the three elders was handing out slips of paper. They were survey questions that the circuit overseer wanted everyone to answer and hand back (no names) asking about the study habits. Unique.

There is an english meeting in Santo Domingo on Tuesday, we will be going as we are dropping off Janet and Jeanette to catch a plane Wednesday morning along with one of the rental cars. A missionary couple has been assigned to the island, their territory is english and covers the whole island! The local congregations are to take note of any english speaking persons in the territory and pass the information on. A couple in our group are hearing the call to step over into Macedonia.

Signing off! lj

  1. Heyyyy LJ! Sounds like you're having a good time. Part of me wishes i was still there but reality has taken hold of me. Adam and Ashley have gotten a little sick... a parasite maybe? We think so. Taking meds to heal... morphine is working wonders. Be safe, and we'll continue checking the blog for more stories.

    Love,
