Monday for our Preparation Day we went to Pigeon Point and took a glass bottom boat ride to Buccoo Reef and Nylon Pool. It is called a nylon pool because the sand is the color of fishing line rather than white like the sand on the beach. It was awesome. We should have worn our swim suits because snorkeling was included, and wading in the coral sand that is very healthy for the skin. The view of the coast from the boat was awesome. It looks like the postcards! We wondered where the pictures were taken, since you don't see some of the best scenery from the shore.

It is high tide and this sandbar is almost covered. It is called pelican island because they love to sit on it.

On Tuesday of last week (7^th) we dropped by Stumpy’s to deliver Anna’s gift wrapped items and she wasn’t at the register. I tracked down the other lady and chatted with her and asked for a phone number for Anna since she was home with the flu. I called Anna on Thursday to see if she was back at work and see where she wanted her books delivered, work or home. She said work, so we went in and visited for a couple of minutes. She wasn't sounding well. We’ll follow up with her soon. Mostly, people here are just interested in a free bible. We only have a couple of bibles here, not knowing they might be a hot item. Evidently, people here watch US television with the ads for free bibles. The elders have had a few requests, but none like ours.

Sunday, the 12^th, dad conducted and had two youth speakers and me and Elder Green, who left on the 14^th. Dad made up a program, even. It was a great meeting, and we had 31 in attendance, a new record. I conducted Primary and dad taught ( I forgot to mention he came down with the flu in the night Sat and was very weak by meeting time at 10 on Sunday) Primary. I did a seminary session after the block. I had 3 of my students there.

In spite of all this craziness, we love Tobago. We love the feel of the island and the people!
