How hard was it for President Alvarado to get old people to "think outside the box"? . . .

Sunday Sessions at Mission Home
Senior missionaries attended church services in the only English-speaking ward in San Juan. Sunday afternoon and evening sessions were held at the mission home.
Some were lucky enough to get soft seats!
During lunch we finally SAW in Sister Button's hand the source of the "squeaky gate" night sounds of the Caribbean--the tiny CO-KIE (KoKee) frog. [Do you know why this one sat so still while his picture was taken? YUP! You're right!! "He don't move no more."]
Area Authority 70 Elder Martinez (second from left) came from the Dominican Republic to give encouragement and counsel to senior missionaries serving in the PRSJ Mission.
Final testimony session began late afternoon on the patio of the mission home but ended waaaaaaaaaaay after dark! Too late for old people . . . .
Again, some were lucky enough to get soft seats. 
Eighty-one year old Elder Ramirez, who resides in Bountiful, is serving his second mission with his wife, who also served a mission as a young woman. We don't know whether or not he served as a young man. According to President Zayas, he and Elder Ramirez are "guapo"!

Galans' Residence at Dorado Beach
Waldo and Cay Galan provided comfortable 'digs' for the Cases and Hadlocks during our Senior Conference in San Juan Puerto Rico. President Galan grilled pork chops and steaks for a late dinner Monday night. "Shotsi & Heidi" are the only two Galan 'children' still at home. Elder Vickery (hidden behind Sister Vickery) serves as Executive Secretary in the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission.
Galans reside in a rented home at the Dorado Beach Country Club where can be seen . . . . . black swan . . .
. . . white crane . . .
. . . multi-million dollar homes . . .
. . . beautiful trees . . . . and grassy greens.

Hadlock's Culture Frocks & Goodbye to Kristy, Taylor and Tyler Cook
Tyler and Taylor Cook came to Roseau with their mother to have their teeth cleaned and one last visit to the Old Market for a souvenir and a Ritual's chiller.
Having left home at 6:00 a.m. without breakfast in order to catch a transport, they were grateful for a bite to eat.
The strange-looking dead tree roots still clinging to a stone wall . .
. . . and an old mill wheel make interesting backdrops for pictures taken on the Ross University campus in Portsmouth, Dominica. 
Kristy, Taylor and Tyler will reluctantly leave President Cook to his studies and return to Idaho to live with President Cook's parents Tuesday 26 October 2010.

Pre-Independence Day Scout Parade
Hope you'll enjoy the pre-Independence Day Scout Parade from beginning . . . .
. . . . . to end!!!
Pre-Independence Day Activities
Dominica Independence Day is actually October 29th but Dominicans love to celebrate! Friday, Oct. 22, students gathered in the "stadium" in Roseau to sit in the hot sun and listen to long, boring speeches by government and education officials who loudly and proudly patted themselves on the back for the great job they're doing to educate the "future of Dominica!"
Can you see the "winding roads of Dominica" being formed by this "precision marching group"???? Neither could we! Nor could we see the "mountain peaks" or the letters "D and A"!
This group of Portsmouth students performed a cultural dance . . . 
. . . and these gymnast-students proudly displayed a large Dominican flag.
