Today is Sunday. I like this day of the week because we get to go to church and visit with everyone. There were many visitors today. I guess the tourist season is starting. We had lunch at the church after with the young adults.
The only differences between lunch every Sunday was location, 4 more people, and 1 more bottle of soda. Oh and we only washed the pans we brought the food in. Our next item to do was haul the elders back to ribeira grande. The waves were huge. After dropping them off grandma and I returned and watched for a while. I realize that we do this often and then talk about it. But it is still amazing to us and so different than Idaho.
We returned to our apartment having over an hour before needing to return to ribeira grande. Today was our monthly church meeting at 5:00. As usual we were late starting. The people in Portugal seem to arrive 15 minutes or so late for everything. Difficult for me, but it seems to work for them. I figure if we need to follow a schedule we should start half an hour early. There were people there who don’t get the opportunity to attend at Ponta Delgada. After the meeting the people hung around visiting and the kids played. Grandma said it was the funnest church meeting we have had.
Membros were talking about how much they loved this chapel and how many fond memories they had here. I am reminded of some of the fond memories I associate with places in my life. We left and came home and started calling our kids. Good visit with them. This was another Sunday that lives up to my expectations as my favorite day of the week. We love you all.
