The church is really cool. It has a baptismal “font” there too. It’s steps to the ocean and a flat spot of rock. They are the only missionaries that have permission to go in the ocean for anything other than a baptism. They have to clean the font before they can baptize there and they’re also going to enlarge it. It’s really cool being in a branch full of return missionaries and their wives and kids.
Elder Monty went to visit Fort Frederick and Fort Matthew on a p-day. The second one is the coolest fort he has ever been to. It had lots of buildings in it, most of which were connected by a big tunnel system that they got to explore! There were lots of prison cells and just a ton of fun stuff to see! Fort Matthew would be really cool for photographers because there’s just so much there. The tunnels are awesome. The long hallways with lots of doors are like something out of a movie. It was fun just running through and taking pictures of everything they could! The walls at Fort Frederick were really cool. The blocks that make up the walls were actually hand cut by slaves when the fort was built. They’re really well done too. And different rows are made with bricks of different heights, but it’s all done perfectly smoothly. Even the corners are perfectly rounded
On another p-day they went out to the old abandoned Cuban airport and climbed in the old planes there. The navy SEALS came in and disabled them in the invasion. The big one where they are sticking out of the cockpit was Cuban and the other one was Russian. It was so cool! The runway is totally intact and the beach at the end of it is pretty cool too. Normally, they see the Caribbean Sea, but on this side of the island, they see the Atlantic, so that was cool too.
During that day they also saw this random monkey.
They drove around the entire island on that same p-day.
They are having some real good success here. They had 6 investigators at church this week!
Although he may never pick up the full accent, Quinn is learning to speak Caribbean speak. He says “tings” for things, “tonks” for thanks, “one time” for immediately and lots of other things.
