Happy Early Birthday To Us!

Brother Shantha gave us early birthday presents. Mugs with our family photos on them. Pretty cool! We have some of the best drivers around. We are so blessed and feel like they are our guardian angels.

Quote for the day!

Fruity Monday!

Had to share with you some of the wonderful fruit that we get to eat here. We have apples, oranges, watermelon, pineapple, mangosteen, grapes and star fruit today! So so Good!

Had a great day teaching English at the Sunott home.

We always have a great time there.

A GOOD Monday!

The Giving Trees

Started Saturday's visit with Jayasena, Ramya and their granddaughter Niomi.

They shared fresh mangosteen from their tree. Of course they didn't have just one fruit tree but many. It is amazing all of the trees and plants that are here in Sri Lanka!

This is a nutmeg tree.

We enjoyed everyone sharing their fruit with us. We didn't go home empty handed.

Also, Damika shared coconut cake with us. It tasted so good. Can't wait to go back and visit to get more cake.

Garbage Day!

On Saturdays we have to take out the garbage. One bag contains paper, one has plastic items in it and the third one has glass. Glass only gets picked up once a month on the last Saturday.

😊I like his cool outfit. Everything matches (all black!)

❤I sure love this man! ❤

🤗Thanks for talking out the garbage!🤗

After all the games and fun we had lunch. We had wonderful rice packets from Oak Ray Hotel.

What a fun and great day!

Busy day getting things ready for our Branch activity tomorrow.

Ken rode to Colombo and back with Elder Abeythunga for a baptismal interview.

Sister Rebekah spent the day with me practicing for her English test and filling out her application for BYUH.

A GREAT day!

A Fruity Kind Of Day!

Pineapple is one of our favorite fruits to eat. We can get them for about $1.00 each or 150 rupees. They are yummy!

Our driver, Sister Sarojani, gave us 2 King Coconuts from her tree.

She also gave us sugar cane.

This is Jungle Fruit. You eat the whole thing. I haven't tried one yet so we will see if they are any good.

Visited the Sansoni family. They shared their Rambutans with us.

Brother Sansoni up in the tree getting us some Rambutans. 

Yummy lunch made by Sister Rohini! Good rice, fish, bread fruit and Kotu Cola!

Enjoying the Rambutans!

We love the Sansoni family and how they help us out.

Thanks for a great lunch and visit!
