We may be old, but we're not dead yet!

(Sister Leishman, who impressively made today's trek despite rebuilt knees, named this blog post)

The Trinidad senior couples of the 'O'zone of Trinidad went on a journey today

Last Monday the Trinidad (younger) Elders came to Maracas Waterfall for a fabulous zone meeting. You can read about it here.

Not to be left behind - the senior couples decided to make the same hike - actually more of a mountain climb, but the reward was sweet.



"That will be $100 tt please" - Elder Coleman


Up we go


Elder Collins, our nature guide


First we climbed up to the large upper waterfall

A stunning sight


Who is that man? (oh - it's President Farrer)


He is having too much fun


We know where he learned to have fun - Sister Farrer!


Hurrah - we made it!



Next we climbed halfway down and detoured to a gorgeous series of waterfalls and pools


A couple of (intentional?) slips led to a few splashes

This particular splash was made by an (unnamed) senior missionary complete with shoes and missionary tag


Another unnamed senior missionary (last name begins with 'C' and ends with 'man') crept up behind President Robison to give him a little scare and just he was about to pounce, slipped and landed in the water. Lesson learned - don't ever try to startle a mission president

We returned to find the mission van had been broken into but oddly enough, everything was found piled by a nearby rock minus $100 tt and one towel. All charge cards, cell phones, and the rest of the money were untouched.

The angels must have been kept extra busy watching over us today

Success Story - Visiting a less active family

We visited an old family with the Mortons, who was fellowshipped about 15 yrs ago but were never baptized. After visiting with them we found out that they loved the church but didn't have the push to come back. We left with an "I'll Try" to come to church. Not hoping for too much to happen, they walked into Sacrament Meeting late but made it. They had a wonderful time and have intentions of progressing.

Success Story - They know how to get the job done

This week we brought the Leishmans out to an appointment with a really sweet investigator. She and her son love the message we share. Elder and Sister Leishman were quick to bear sincere powerful testimony, recommit, and solidify baptism right away! She felt the spirit, came to church, and is excited about baptism! Senior Missionaries definitely know how to get the job done and seal the deal!
