Monday October 25

 

It’s Monday, it’s p-day, and it’s not raining. We headed back to the pine forest to show the missionaries and just because. I decided I had taken enough pictures of the place last Saturday so I just enjoyed the peaceful walk and the pretty scenery. There were few people here and we only saw 3 others. The elders either were impressed or at least acted like they were. We hiked up to the tower and looked out over the island. We used my nocculars to look at a lot of the places. It is amazing.

Coming down from there we found a stump cut to form a chair, back and all.

So grandma watching again. We circled around the park to see the deer and the birds and the picnic areas. There are a lot tables with and without shelters several playgrounds for the kids bathrooms and grills even pizza ovens with the long handled hoe to remove the ashes and the long handled flat spatula to put the pizza in and take it out. Here is a picture of some.

These are for grilling l didn’t take pictures of the ovens and all the other grilling areas. It was quite impressive. We drove back and ate lunch at the brazilian restaurant. We had plenty of time to shop and then our mission zoom meeting. We bought very little as we feel mixed messages about what we should do and have decided to try and use up the food in case. We sort of are confused and I have no idea how to plan. I get the feeling that we should have been home from one and others say to stay. We want to make the right decision so please help us. Please discuss this but please respect each other’s opinions. Meanwhile grandma keeps studying português and we have kept things private here. We will just keep working as we would normally and yet get things in order. We have a lot of events planned for the next 35 days but things can change quickly. When I always said health issues could cause changes quickly I was thinking of us. We are still doing good and enjoying it, the members seem to appreciate us so life is good. We love you all.
