Street vendors. Someone is always on this street corner selling these "piggy" banks and people buy them. I don't know exactly what their purpose is except of course to save money but kind of strange.
SCORED! This guy bought one.
This person's whole house burned down and he is rebuilding it little by little. Brother Yturralde is working on getting him some lumber to finish the roof. As I previously mentioned in a former update, the lumber is from the energy plant that is under construction that well be providing electricity to a gold mine that is several miles to the north. They receive large equipment on huge pallets that they are giving away and Bro. Y has made friends with the head engineer of the company so the next pallets they have available will be broken down and disributed.
We think these coconut oil palms that died for some reason and they are restoring them. There were miles upon miles of them. We saw them on our way to Las Terrenas which is on the north side of the island. You could see little green shots growing from the tops of the palms.
These are three Aaronic Priesthood boys who spent the night with us when the Branch went to the temple. We went to La Sirena which is like Walmart to pick up some chips and soda. It was all decorated for Christmas and they of course insisted on taking pictures.
Those of you on Facebook already saw the following picture. This is in front of the Quisqueya Chapel. The two high councillmen who attend our branch most Sundays always arrive from San Pedro (about 30 minutes away on this moto).
Googing around after church services while waiting for Bro. Y to finish some church business and playing around with the automatic photo shoot on my camera.
The baptismal font is outside and they have to order a truckload of water to fill it. The truck comes with a tank of water that the driver attaches a hose to and then fills the font. The services were at 6:00 and it was already dark as you can see so we were unable to attend. We don't like to travel that far out of Santo Domingo after dark.
Love to all,
Carlos & Nancy
Quisqueya Chapel
