Driving up the mountain on the way to Constanza we had to stop and take some shots of the amazing view. the pictures are a little dissapointing. they dont give you but a small portion of what we saw miles below.
When we got over the mountain we saw hundreds of acres of farm ground. there were strawberries, beans potatoes, cabbage, onions and more onions. There were fields being planted and others being harvested. everything was green and a lot cleaner. As we walked around the town we found the LDS church and visited with a missionary from California. We are our lunch in the little park in the center of town before heading back over the mountain
We stopped at a couple of pottery stands along the road on our way home. Sister Swapp and Sister McDermid each bought a cute pot. Every stand had diffetent colors and designs that were fun to see.
OUR SEA SHELL ACTIVITY IN QUISQUEYA ( OR FUN AT OUR 'TWIG')
Brother and Sister Whitaker and Sister Snow are getting things set up for everyone to make a picture frame of sea shells from a mounted picture they have selected. Everyone seemed so excited to participate. We started the evening with 7-8 and when it ended we had about 35 that had come. the noise level grew as the night progressed. The little church was full of people.
The branch president, President Matthews and the Relief Society president even made a picture.
There weren't enough tables but everyone seemed just fine with working on the floor. By the end of the evening there were shells everywhere.
The pictures of the Savior and the Fominican Republic temple were the favorite pictures.
Sister Chara, a councilor in the District Relief Society Presidency and the district president rode with us from San Pedro to the branch. We all had an amazing evening and were gratful for the turnout and spirit.
