Puerto Rico Citrus Hill Project - Day 7

Sunday morning showers were outside today! The boys decided that the water is a little warmer outside than in the actual shower so opted to do it outside this morning. Fine by me. Quick and easy they were clean and ready for church! 

We were excited to be with the branch today for sacrament meeting. When we were here in December they were still not meeting for in person meetings yet so we were so glad to hear that we were back at the church! We doubled the attendance of the branch when we walked in today but we were welcomed with fist bumps and an announcement over the pulpit that we were visiting from Utah. Such wonderful people and we LOVED feeling a part of the branch today. We talked with the branch President and sister missionaries after and exchanged information. We told them we’d love to be involved and I know we will grow to love these people! After church the kids said how much they liked being there and they had the sense that it felt very familiar to them :) Love the way the spirit works for all of us no matter what side of the world we’re on!

We had some down time after church and josh and I zoomed into a couple meetings back at home and tackled an internet problem in the Herriman house with our renters in the basement while hosting renters upstairs. Talk about a week full of “if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.” Luckily our super neighbor Sim saved the day and got internet back up for everyone at home! We owe him big time. 
After dinner and business at home wrapped up, we wanted to get out of the house. So we took a drive down south past Ceiba and Humacao and made it to the beach down near Yabacao. The drive was absolutely gorgeous and it got more rural the farther south we went. Of course, the kids snatched our phones and made the best of their time while we drove…yikes. 



Luckily we finally got there and were saved from the demons that were taking over our cars! 
The beach we stopped at was filled with palm trees and it was incredible! We collected shells, flew kites, and even made sand angels! It was a gorgeous evening to be out and we just took it all in on this Sunday evening together. Here’s to another week ahead!
