So now that the hurricane is passed by, all is restored to normal. There wasnt much damage done in Dominica except for the boats that were in the harbor got run into the beach. So they are all stuck. I got some nice pictures of all that happened but I dont have my camara with me today, so for a future time.
Zone Conference is going to be an interesting one, because of the traveling. We leave tomorrow morning at 4:30 A.M. so we can get to the airport in time. And we dont return until friday at 10:00 A.M. so two days gone. The most interesting thing is that we will be returning in a different airport than the one that we leave at. So that takes us driving ourselves out of the picture. Taxi time. O well, we have had to use the taxi's here before anyways.
So what is Mike going to call his new restaurant? I keep forgetting.
Birdy is doing really well. She has been coming to church regularly now and is accepting our message more and more without contending. They other day she shared with us some of how her testimony of the restoration has been growing. She wants her baptism to be private, and I dont even think she wants us to take pictures. So, I might not be able to show you that one. But she is doing really well.Steve is also growing stronger and stronger. He hasnt missed one week of church since we met him. He is great. Hopefully he can recieve the priesthood soon. We have been talking to the Branch President about it, but nothing as of yet.
