| We start our journey along the trail |
Elder Agbuya and Elder Archuleta and four others climbed
into the truck to start the first leg of our journey. The weather was perfect
to travel to a special sacrament meeting near EB Magalona today. Sitting here writing, I feel thankful we have
been watched over one more time as we have traveled a questionable road. Elder Agbuya texted late last night making
sure we would be able to walk for 15 – 20 minutes in mud and across a couple of
bamboo bridges. We looked at each other
and thought sure, why not? What we didn’t
know was the road to get to the area big enough to leave the truck was a narrow
rocky dirt road, with deep drop offs on each side. With the recent rains, the ground was soft.

The walk was kind of fun as we wound through several small
communities whose livelihood is the ocean. People along the way greeted us with
their beautiful smiles. George was like
the Pied Piper, he brought lots of biscuits to share; the news traveled quickly
among the children.

The saltly air was warm and humid. The ground we traveled was sandy with lots of
broken shells. We passed many fish
ponds; where fish are raised for food. We
watched those harvesting shrimp and crab.
We passed an oyster farm (just for eating), and many “fisherfolk” as
they are called here, were repairing fishing nets.
