wow....

So, yesterday (friday) we went to North Caicos. We got on the boat a little after 8, and it was about less then a half hour Boat ride over there. Somewhere along to the way someone pointed out a house owned by Bruce Willis, and another house owned by Keith Richards. Once we got there, Dennis, a brother from florida picked us up. He took us to the new KINGDOM HALL which is awesome! It's a funny story about how it got built, the congergation on the island wasnt even an official congergation. And RBC wasnt ready to build then one yet, even though the brothers o the island said they would could do it themselves (they own a construction company). So the brothers coordinated with the C.O. and some brothers from bethel to finance and build all on there own the "North Caicos Community Center" that happened to look just like a kingdom hall!! (what a coincidence!) Then they "Gave" it to the society and it was dedicated!

So we did a couple hours of service in that territory which was just as good as it has been over on Provo. Then we hopped into the truck and went to the caves. The Conch Bar Caves are some pretty extensive caves on North Caicos, but we didnt really go into them very much. After that we went to the Beach, which was the most AMAZING beach I have ever seen in my life! It looked like something out of a SciFi fantasy movie. It had this giant wall/cliff thing right next to the beach that you could relax under. Or you could walk over to the awesome water with waves almost the size of ours in Cali. There was a little sandbar you could walk out onto, and see the whole cost, which had these amazing rolling hills, and then in between these cliffs there were these little coves of beaches, and there was nobody at any of them! After a while there we walked to the top of that cliff, and theres a path that leads to an area where they dug out of the mountain down to one of those coves and we hung out over th
ere for a while. It had to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life... the only thing close to it would be Yosemite, but its close.

So after we had to leave there we were on our way back. We stopped at Flamingo Point, a lookout over this huge swampy area that hosts the largest flock of Flamingos in the Western Hemisphere! Which was pretty awesome. After that we came back home, and then went to the Owens for dinner, where we had that lobster that we cought on sunday. That was Delicious, along with some awesome mashed potatoes and this really good garlic bread. We met a brother and sister from texas who are out visiting as well, and he will be giving the talk on sunday.

I'm sure that theres more, but Honestly yesterday was the coolest day here yet, and I was doing my best to absorb as much of it as possible, but I'm sure ill remember some later! thanks guys.
