Today we get to visit several people. We also prepared for the linger longer we are having after church tomorrow. I made a batch of stroganoff and grandma prepared oven roasted potatoes to bake tomorrow. We had lunch with all the missionaries at the home of a member. We had their form of shepherds pie. It was good. For desert we had chocolate bunt cake. While driving we saw a cruise ship leaving the harbor and yet later the same ship was against the dock unloading.
It rained part of the time then turned of really warm until almost hot. I drove with the window down. We went to visit some members with the elders from ribeira grande before dropping them off. It was still early and having some time left we stopped and went for a short walk where the river flows into the ocean.
The funny looking stone is an old mill stone as there was an old water powered mill here for grinding wheat or corn. It was fun to get out and see so many people. I still am amazed at all the people men, women, and children who just sit on the sidewalk or on the doorsteps. They sit and talk and look like they have nowhere to go. They are not homeless just people with nothing to do. If we could figure out a way to get them to listen we could teach them like alma and amulek did. Good day. We love you all.

A clarification on the elk antler nativity. The figures inside are not carved in, but are glued in and made of material other than antler. The antler just is carved out to form a cave like opening.
