The People








Words can't really describe these wonderful, humble, people. Maybe you can get an idea from these pictures.

Top picture is Georgette, a sweet and shy lady who has a fruit stand on the way to Lucea. One day we stopped by to buy some bananas, and took this picture. The next time we went by, we took her the printed out picture, and she and her family were delighted. We always stop and say hello, even though we don't always shop there.
The next picture is Brother Ricketts and his bananas on his little farm. I'm really not as unhappy as I look. I think I was saying something to dad as he took the picture. Sorry it is so light.
Then there is Phillip, our lawn man. He edges and trims with a machete. Very hard-working, but took advantage of us. We still like him, and will hire him again if he ever returns.
This is Clyde Johnson, the homeless man we got the wheelchair for. He couldn't say why he is wheel-chair bound, but he seems to like his new chair. We see him often, and the LDS labels are still on it!
Finally is April, a sweet 14-year old with her friend. April has been in our home several times, and is a non-member who was living with her aunt, Sis. Garrick. She is a bouncy, happy girl, and we hope her mom will let her be baptized one day.

Good job. We are impressed that you set this up. We wouldn't know how to beging to do it.
April and her friend are beautiful! Their skin is so smooth and pretty.
Your front yard looks a little different than your Eureka yard...
Love you! Keep the pictures coming.

Spencer demands more pictures of Grampa. Did you get the movie that Heather and I made for Christmas?
