This is a little orange friend that keeps me company when I'm washing dishes at the kitchen sink. He is quiet and a little shy. He doesn't offer to help but he won't go away!
If you look closely in the grass you'll see one of those creatures we're all afraid of. You can chop them in half or in pieces with a shovel or scissors or whatever is handy,.......but that doesn't mean they'll die! They bite with the little black-tipped pincers you see in the two pictures below, which is the part that carries their poison.
Lost the picture of the other end that Brother DeCosta was brave enough to pick up in his fingers when it was trying to get away and hide in the grass!!! Darn computer!!!!
$#*%@!!! Oh well!!! So then let's look at something else.......
Like these monkeys at Ship Wreck--Momma's and their babies. I'll be quiet now so you can watch.
Oops. No sign that says not to feed the mongoose! OK! Now, I'll be quiet . . . . ..
These were two of the "Sister" monkey-watchers that Sunday afternoon,.......
......and these are all three. The mountains behind them are the peninsula (handle) end of St. Kitts. The furthest is the island of Nevis under the cloud. Atlantic Ocean to the left and Caribbean Sea to the right.
OK, shhhhhhhhhhhh, the Momma monkeys are back. They brought their babies. Don't frighten them away.........shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
St. Clair Alphonso Jarvis chose Saturday, 6 August 2011 to be baptized. Branch Mission Leader, Aaron Larsen, posed for this picture with him and Elder Hadlock while the font was filling. He and his wife of one year, Yvette, and Elder Hadlock and his, of several more, had plenty of time for a picture while the font continued to fill! 
President Alvarado says, "Let us begin!" Begin we did! We worked to remove the sod from a small area of the back yard to make a flower bed at St. Christopher Children's Home. 
We were grateful when each additional person came to help. LJ brought his friend and younger brother, Tevon, who happily put on Mormon Helping Hands vests, paused for a picture and then went to work. When we were almost finished.....
But as the morning progressed and one-by-one more helpers arrived a big part of what Ms. Wells wanted done actually happened! 
Two of the boys currently living at the home came to see what all the yellow vests were doing. 
By early afternoon there was a total of 35 Mormon Helping Hands that enjoyed a little rest and sack lunch in the shade. 
Jomilah Farrell's Sunday School teacher, Brother Vazquez, baptized her on Friday, 8 July 2011. Nijoe Farrell, Jomilah's newly adoptive father, Cami Farrell, Phyllis Farrell, her now legal mother and her two youngest daughters, Azaina and Nefisa, posed for this picture prior to the service which was held in the chapel rather than the usual font room because of so many visitors from the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission.
OK, it may not be perfect but underneath these Stars & Stipes are DELICIOUS Oatmeal Bars and the Red, White & Blue Danish wasn't bad either--especially for a first-time try.
These are some of the med students, vet students, wives and children that made themselves at home Monday evening at the Marriott condo currently occupied by Adrian and Beth Allred and their three children that have been in St. Kitts for the last three plus years and are probably the heart of social life. 
President Hanley was soooooooooo happy when it was all said and done but that was after Donville Paul and Shane Brauchie finished weeding,
