Today was the first day of something I call Big Roof Project. Luckily we don’t have to actually do the Big Roof Project on our own and we hired some professionals to do it for us. We realized we might be in way over our heads on that one and quickly found an amazing guy who’s taking care of it for us. He’s on time, does what he says, works hard and all the things that will get this roof done in no time! He says he can have it done in three of four days if the weather is good. Today they were at the house right at 7:00 am to get started pressure washing and scraping off the layer of old sealant and tar that has been on there. They’ll finish the pressure washing up tomorrow and then they start the layers of foam to even it out then top it with silicone. It’s going to be the best thing to have done! Josh finished up digging out the tall weeds in the middle of the yard and had a helper following him around like crazy glue today. Such a cute little duo out in the yard. Meanwhile I headed to the laundromat to wash three baskets of dirty clothes and towels. Washer and dryer get here Wednesday so this is the las time we have to take it somewhere else to be done! I fumbled through with my very limited Spanish but knew enough to get it all done and back in a couple hours.
After laundry and yard projects we sat down for a Spanish lesson together. Josh taught us all how to say a prayer! It was an awesome lesson and we hung up papers to help remind us how to say all the parts to a prayer. The kids are going to keep working on it and memorizing so they can say a Spanish prayer before we leave here at the end of the month.
After lunch we decided to cool off and headed to the beach. We met up with our friends the Lunsfords that moved here from Eagle Mountain a few weeks ago and we just got to know after we got here. It’s a crazy story about how they ended up here but we connected through the sister missionaries in the ward and now have gotten together a couple times and the kids love having friends! We went to the beach just down from their house Playa Azul. It was a great beach for boogie boarding which is just what my kids love to do. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing at the beach and then the kids talked me into our favorite treat stop on the way home - Pikole. The most delicious açaí bowls and popsicles on the planet. I can’t ever resist! Rease even got some mellophone practice in today which was good for me to see since we lugged that instrument all the way here! She’s headed to band camp after we get back so she’s motivated to keep practicing. One more day here in the island and we keep on loving it!
