 This is the class of 14 new missionaries that we taught temple preparation classes to on Friday.  We had them in class from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm with only a half hour lunch break.  Then at around 9:30 pm they were off to the airport and headed for the missionary training center in Manila.  We love teaching these classes to new missionaries!
 On Saturday we went to the children's amusement park with Elder & Sister Ford, and Elder & Sister Gledhill.  It was a beautiful day and we just walked around and saw what the park was like.  You can see the ferris wheel behind Elder Shrope.
 This is a ride that is in the air above us.  You have to peddle in order to move.  This lady had her son on the other side of her and they waved as they passed over us.
 In this lagoon you can paddle boat around.  You can start on this side and...
 You can also go on this side.  The large castle is not completed yet.  They were working inside as so we could only see it from the outside.  This park is new and parts are still under construction.
 You get from one side of the lagoon to the other by going through this fish.
 Sister Shrope is standing on the fish.  When the castle is finished, you can walk over the fish and to the castle.  We think it might be a restaurant.
 Sister Shrope made friends with two giraffe who were fishing in the lagoon!
 This ship was not open today, but it opens up on the other side to an outdoor eating area facing the lagoon.  Another restaurant.  Some of these seem to maybe only open in the evening hours.
 There are picnic tables that make you feel like you are in a treehouse.  Very cool!!
 Here we are looking through the eyes of love--Ha! Ha!
 Elders Gledhill, Ford, and Shrope looking through the hole in the wall.  Actually we told them they needed to get 'around to it.'
Sisters Gledhill, Ford, and Shrope are always getting 'around to it.'  We had a fun afternoon just walking and looking and watching people on the rides.  It is a fun place for families to take their kids.  And we finished it off with a popcycle.  Yummmm!
