Super Saturday

Elder and Sister Green came to Tobago to assist with a Super Saturday on December 6 for our 4 seminary students, Theresa, Linda, Stefan, and Janelle. But before the event, we took them to Stone Haven to our favorite beach. We looked for crabs (crawling on the rock) and watched little fish swim in the small pools of water in the rocks. We swam and played in the Caribbean Ocean.

We took a drive onto Arnos Vale and walked up to the lodge where they have tea each afternoon at 4:00 pm and feed the birds. We were there about 3:00 and took some pictures of the hummingbirds and bananaquits, which are in abundance. You have to be careful as they dive bomb right past your ears and you think you are being attacked for sure by the whirring of the wings. We saw the most beautiful green hummingbirds and so really dark ones with several iridescent colors.



Who could resist taking pictures of the beautiful flowers that bloom in the shade of the bamboo and other forest trees.





The beach was empty of people except one lone snorkeler. It was a beautiful calm day. It is just the beginning of the tourist season there and won't remain peaceful for long as the rooms are booked starting in a couple of weeks.

The evening was spent wandering through the Botanical Gardens that have been decorated for Christmas. There were lots of families viewing the beauty of the lights and lots of liming going on. We ran into a young man, Kevin, who worked on the cabinets in our apartment. He was headed back home to Guyana for a couple of months.




Our Super Saturday had a turnout of 2 seminary students, the elders, the Greens and us. We had a fun time playing games and eating pizza from Chaio's. The Green' did a awesome job of helping us learn our scripture mastery scriptures.

They attended church with us, which helped our numbers for fast Sunday reach 29. We missed the Jarvis couple (friends of President Robison) or we would have had 31. His back was bothering him. We took them to the airport Sunday evening and they plan a repeat in late February.
