Seth stated, "We visited a less active member of the ward who has a business of selling shrimp to a lot of the island. Here we have a photo of about 400 kilos of shrimp that are about as big as my hand extended."
By my calculation, that is 880 pounds of non-shrimpy shrimp.
Calamari is, perhaps, my least favorite food in the world (at least that I have tried).
This picture is of "squid cooked in its own ink." Seth said it actually tastes pretty good. He must have been REALLY hungry.
Now on to important matters.
A couple who is living together without being married may not be baptized. Romana and Regulo wanted to get baptized and Seth and his companion wanted that for them too. So, their quest to get them married led them to this little house.
Inside this little house was a lady with a typewriter and the authority to marry people.
I guess she conducts official business by pulling a little desk into her living room. Having received the required fee and completed the required paperwork, she declared them husband and wife.
Here is the happy couple with their marriage certificate.
When they arrived home, family members threw a surprise party.
Now for Saturday.
Seven people were baptized in the ward in which Seth is serving. Seth and his companion taught four of them so the sister missionaries must have taught the other three.
The first family mentioned by Seth was introduced to us above.
This is the De La Cruz Sanchez family - from left to right Romana, Regulo, and Fransisca
Here we are introduced to the De La Cruz Jimenez family.
They are, from left to right Marisol, Victor, Luz, Thomas.
Here is Seth's observation about how things are going in their part of the vineyard. "It was such a blessing to see the excitement of the families and of the ward, and now the doors are opening as more members are bringing friends to church and the families of the people who were baptized are now coming to church and learning more of the gospel."
