The church and the CCM are so organized to have all of us get photos and visas. Two bus loads of us went to the immigration office downtown to get our visas and be fingerprinted. On the way back the bus driver took us through the scenic part of town. This fountain was beautiful even from the bus.
I don't know the meaning of this statue. But again nice from the bus.
On Friday, our P-day we went to a beautiful mall. We watched the funeral services of Boyd K. Packer at noon and then ate a late lunch. Following that we went with the other senior couples to a mall. I bought a skirt and we ate dinner at Red Lobster. Dennis drove. The traffic is crazy and the pedestrians are sometimes the same. One women walked right in front of us as we were driving down the street. Dennis missed hitting her by inches.
I love the plants in the mall and especially the ones that grown on the walls both inside and outside the mall. Notice the colored fountain in the back. The mall had 5 levels.
We considered seeing a movie but there just wasn't a good fit for missionaries who are trying to keep the spirit of the Lord with them at all times. So we passed on that.
The mall is beautiful and very modern.
Sunday July 12 Dennis and I both spoke in our Sacrament meeting. The president asked me to speak on the restoration of the church. One of our Elders who has just been here for 3 days is depressed and wants to go home. He says he has no desire to serve a mission. I hope he will stay................ Oh here the edit on Monday. The elder has talked to his mission president here at the CCM, stake president, and mom and dad. He is staying and going to give it a try. We will celebrate big for his 19th birthday on Friday.
