We celebrated Elder Hickenlooper's 20th birthday with a lunch and a cake with trick candles. Elders White, Endemann, and Risenmay tried to help him blow out the candles but they wouldn't stay out.



Elder Leishman and I were out with Elders Risenmay and White one afternoon in Chase Village. It was a Saturday afternoon and we ran into lots of children out playing in their yards. They followed us all over the area. They were so fun that we had to take their picture. We would love to have taught their parents but they weren't home that day. Maybe another day.





We spent a wonderful morning hiking to Maracus Falls in the mountain range north of Port of Spain. The hike was strenuous for the old and infirm like me, but with my companion's help, and only with his help, I made it to the upper falls and then to the lower falls. The trip was so-o-o-o worth it. It is definitely somewhere
I hope to show any of my family, and friends, who are ever able to take a trip to Trinidad. Look for the water fall behind the missionary couples on the ledge. The excursion was only marred by the fact that our van was broken into and our belongings would have been stolen if two couples hadn't headed back to the van ahead of the rest of us because one sister wasn't feeling well. As it was, they still had time to steal $100 TT (about $16 US) out of my wallet. But luckily, all the credit and debit cards were left in there place.
