This family lives right across the road from the canoe man. He gave us a ride over here too, then picked us up and floated us until we scraped the bottom of the road. This family are active in the church. He is the Elder's Quorum President. They were challenged to start saving for the Temple. They agreed to do this. What a great family.
The branch president wanted us to go to one more home across from him. The further back we got the deeper it was too. Good thing I have good walking shoes! The funny thing about this home was that after we were seated outside on her bed/table, children from the neighborhood came over. They were screaming and looking in the water. I saw, what I thought was a snake but the Elders told us it was just a big leech. It much have been 6 inches long. I was thinking. Oh no, I need to get back in that water to go back to the car. Well, the only way was out, so I let out a little scream and jumped as far into the water as I could get.. . . .away from that leech. I made it back to dry ground with no leech and very wet feet and shoes.
The sweet branch president brought a bucket of clean water for us to wash off our feet with. It was a much appreciated blessing!
