Goodbye Paradise/ Adios Paraiso

Or so our little branch was called. The last Sunday was a sad one in the Paradise branch. Jamir especially will miss the young men. I am impressed by how much the young men looked up to him and were sad when he left. We will miss our friends there too. Hopefully there will be opportunities to serve in Coos Bay.

Jamir surprised me the Wednesday before we left with Little Mermaid tickets in Tuachan. It was amazing! I would say one of the best I have seen. Maybe better than Lion King. They had water special affects and the costumes were very showy and bright. It is outside so the backdrop has an amazing affect with the stars, rocks and fireworks at the end. I was so glad Jamir bought them because it would have been sad to live in St George and never see a show.

Paraiso se llamaba nuestra rama. El ultimo domingo fue un domingo triste en nuestra rama paraiso. Personalmente voy a extra~nar a los jovenes con quien me toco servir. Vamos a extra~nar tambien a los amigos que hicimos durante nuestro tiempo en la rama. Esperamos que tambien haya oportunidades de servir al lugar a donde vamos. 

Nuestra ultima semana fuimos al musical de La Sirenita en el teatro al aire libre "Tuahan" en St. George. Estuvo increible, definitavemente una de las mejores obras de teatro/musical que hemos visto, mejor quiza que la del Rey Leon. La obra tuvo muchos efectos visuales, color brillantes y agua. Lo mas impactante tambien fue ver las estrellas y las monta~nas que el teatro tiene de fondo.






Before we left we ate at our favorite pizza place Riggattis, wood fired oven. We happened upon it when we came last August and it is hands down the only pizza place we will eat at. And of course we had one last meal of Kneaders. I will miss those places!

The big mess. I HATE packing.
We took a ride on the carousel in downtown. I have always wanted to so we finally did the last Saturday.






And the young women and young men. We were happy for the opportunity to serve!


Good bye apt 107! We loved that cute little place.
