Yallahs Chapel

Transfers



I found this transfers picture in a file and put it up in the mission office the week of transfers! Pretty funny!! Also here are the new seven elders who finally made it to Jamaica after four days in the Dallas area - in their same suits! they had wet suitcases when they opened them in the mission home. Sister Larsen spent most of the night doing their laundry and some elders lost white shirts to mildew or spots! Gotta love mission life.

market to plate




I love the fresh fruit and veggies here! I miss Junction Market but our landlady told us about the Kingston one - just on Friday and Saturday, but the farmers bring fresh things in to the big city to sell - - and I buy! Here is a small part of the market, also our Easter Dinner and a plate of veggies I took to a dinner at the mission home for all senior couples...yum, yum, yum!

Old Aqueduct





On the Campus of the U of the W.I. there is this old aqueduct - built in the 1750's. It was very interesting. We had a good time learning about it and hope to see the end that goes over a road close by - - we had been told about it but couldn't find it on Saturday.

University of the West Indies





On Saturday we visited the campus of the University of the West Indies. It felt really good to be on a college campus if just to drive around. We had been told to visit the Bookstore but it was closed so we will go back sometime. This old church was dismantled in another part of the island and brought here. Elder Smith is 'sleeping' the sign refers to a speed bump down the road - they call them sleeping policeman - but we'd never seen a sign naming it! Beautiful huge old tree on the campus. Sister Smith is 'clamping' - another term for booting your tires, we guess.

Rain




Here is Elder Smith and Sister Daniels, ordering our food at an outdoor restaurant in a pouring rain! It had some shelters but we got wet anyway - then took a picture of the rain making the road a river!

Party Times




Here is our Young Single Adult committee meeting - Elder Smith conducting - he does a great job! Next we had a Seniors Dinner at a Chines Restaurant to say goodbye to the Daniels - also had Tacos at our new (old) apartment. Nice of everyone to want to party with us!
