I tagged along with Mark to go pick up the missionaries from the airport. The elders new car is too nice to leave sitting at the airport overnight. It's likely one of the nicest cars on the island! Why?? I don't know! They used to have a little pickup truck.
I began reading to him from one of his books and started feeling funny after a while. We discovered that learning makes me nauseous!! Haha! I've NEVER felt car sick before! I've been so grateful for that living here because the roads and drivers are so crazy that many people do get sick.
On our way back to Portsmouth the road was blocked momentarily by tree limbs. Thankfully they were moved out of the way to let us pass after a surprisingly short wait. There were so many mental pictures I took on the drive. If I was willing to drive in this country and had all the time in the world it would be fun to take a million pictures. This is such a beautiful island. It's interesting to observe the locals too. I've watched local boys riding bikes on one tire and people carry things on their heads. I have seen one donkey on the island hanging out in the same general area on the side of the road on the way to the airport. I'd love to take his picture!
