Happy Mother's Day! We attended the Black Rock Branch church meetings today and got to meet several missionary companionships, senior missionaries, the mission president and his wife and about 15 native members of the church. One of the members, a woman named Sister Ennis (I think that is her name, It was a bit hard to tell with her accent:), remembers an Elder Shumway from way back in the day! She is the oldest member in the Black Rock Branch and has been attending church their for around 30 years. When I told her that her Elder Shumway is my dad, she was so happy and couldn't wait to tell all her friends.
After church, we headed back home to grab lunch and a blanket and strolled down to the beach to walk along the shoreline and read scriptures in the shade of the coconut trees:) At some point in our reading, Kenric fell asleep and a little lizard crawled up on his back to sun itself. Our little green friend hung around for most of the afternoon, alternately sleeping on one of us or on top of our scriptures.
