Gene touring the Bowfin submarine. He didn't transfer through the openings very easily.




This is our bus ride through the jungle. Joke was on us, it was a very short ride. We had a great time. We learned all about how the coconut tree and its fruit is a tree of life.


We took a side trip on a Macadamea Nut farm. This was the biggest nut.


Visit to the Temple. We were hoping to do a session. But the Temple is closed for a total remodel in side. We had a wonderful tour of the visitors center and walked around the grounds. Kim and Pam Buck. Greg and Penny Ball.


A little something we picked up.
Bishops son Kaden Brown
One of our trainers, Bro Samon.










Elder Rockwood enjoying one of the many items at the MTC cafeteria. We ate too much.
The dinning hall was in an L shape, these are the two directions.
This is the main entrance to the MTC. We have been here four other times, only we dropped off our sons. It was different, just the two of us. No one boo hooing.

At the MTC
We entered the Mission Training Center on March 2nd. We had some orientation, training classes, and some special speakers. We met a lot of other couples going all over the world. We are pretty happy to be headed to Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City.
