Jedidiah Morancie was still Wednesday afternoon only long enough to take this picture. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but 'Jedi' escaped with his life. . . just barely!
Vanessa and Faith were happy to make Rice Crispy Treats with chocolate chips on top to take home and share with their families.
Lots of rain in Roseau lately, which could make life miserable if your roof leaks. We're quite certain the tenants in this house across the street got wet before someone finally came to repair the roof. Some men work hard under the scorching sun . . . . .
. . . .
and some just supervise from the shade!
After the rain finally stopped Friday afternoon, we stepped outside on the veranda to take a picture of the sun beginning to set beyond Royal Caribbean's "Spendlor of the Sea". . . .
. . . . and we knew the Mormon couple we met Friday morning inside an interesting and strange little shop that sells everything under the son was on that ship, leaving Dominica to return to their home in Highland, Utah.
Faith turned twelve in October. She lives with her family in Yam Piece. She loves to cook. She also loves chocolate chips and to eat what's left in the mixing bowl. 
We made chocolate-chip oatmeal bar cookies and tried a new recipe for lunch--Biscuit Cups. (Had the editor not deleted a picture, you could have seen the biscuit cups filled with taco-fixin's and the guest at the table.)
Eventually we got to the real business of the day--music beat patterns.
We now have an "ocean-view" apartment. (Recenty-passing hurricane must have been our friend when it stripped some branches from the big mango tree across the street.) If you look carefully between the poles and wires from our veranda you might be able to see a big 5-masted schooner . . . . .
. . . . before it sails beyond the sea.
Thirteen-year-old Emmanuel and his promised belated birthday "black-black-black cake with raisins and NO ICING."
Eight-year-old Roger Kelvin Labad's "hot tea" burn.
Royal Caribbean's 'Jewel of the Sea' was full of all the wrong people! . . . Cary and Chelli weren't on it . . . . and "this little piggy" photographer "cried" all the way home!
If "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," the same must be true of senior missionaries. Elder Dean & Sister Myrtle Hadlock, North Ogden, UT, and Sister Marilyn & Elder Leon Button, Mesa, AZ, appreciated an opportunity to visit beautiful Old El Morro, an ancient fortress that had its beginning in 1539. 
Heavy cannons were once-upon-a-time rolled up this ramp where the Hadlocks stand in their semi-informal missionary attire.
The beautiful blue-green water of the Caribbean Sea can be seen from high atop the stone walls of "Fort San Filipe del Morro."
On the small island in the distance was once built another fortress from which cannons could be fired to catch the enemy in a crossfire. 
A group of oldies but goodies . . . . with a young mission president and his wife.
One really must sense for themself to fully appreciate the sights, sounds and smells!
Old light-house built in 1843 was rebuilt in 1908 by the US Navy.
After many hours of training, a visit to El Morro, and a delicious Puerto Rican dinner, Friday ended with a night street meeting. Then it was time to hurry off to prepare for another long day and jump into bed. Only thing more blurry than this picture are the missionaries' eyes!
