Montego Bay and Ocho

Yesterday we made a trip into Montego Bay for zone meeting.  The zone leaders had asked us if we would be willing to assist with some roll playing for which we did.  We were suppose to be a married couple on the street and the elders were suppose to introduce themselves and bring up eternal marriage.  It was fun and the zone meeting was good.  The Ocho elders drove with us.  By the time we got home, it was almost 3:30.  We  had picked the elders up at 7:00 a.m. so it made for a log day.  Once we got home, we worked on our lessons for seminary and institute.

Today, Brian needed to go to the bank for some branch business so I stayed home and worked on my lesson.  The Vance's called and wanted to know if we would like to meet them for lunch.  They had come to Ocho to check on Turtle Hill Falls and Island Grill.  We met them at a restaurant that is a lot like Panda Express.  I was impressed with  what we got and we will probably go there again.  We only payed $1110.00 JD which is equivalent to about $11.00 US for the two of us.  We then went with Elder and Sister Vance to the Falls and walked around.  It is a beautiful place. They use to call it the "Enchanted Gardens" and I can see why.  They have a swimming pool there and people can also walk in the falls.  The falls almost look like they are made of cement but it is natural rock.  It was nice to spend some time with the Vances. From the Falls, Brian and I went back to the apartment and picked up our teaching materials for seminary and institute.  Both of us taught two classes today.  I am enjoying this experience.  We headed home around 7:30 to fix dinner and settle in for the night.

As you can see, I am not starving here in Jamaica!
