Fiddling Crabs & Fishin'
We enjoyed an amazing journey this weekend. We went fishing, but, not with a boat. We walked out in the ocean about a mile when the tide had gone down. (Which was around 7:30) It was supposed to have been the best day to catch fish!
Interestingly, they call them fiddler crabs because they look like they are playing the fiddle.
The crabs scurried around when we started walking, they were everywhere!
Our friend that lives on the island told us that at certain times of the year, the road would look like it was moving because the fiddler crabs would be crossing the road. Why did the crabs cross the road?

So Cute!!!
Turn your head- the pictures aren't flipping

Where we were it wasn't really sand but kind of like mud. You have to shuffle your feet through the water so not to get stung by a sting ray. You'd think they'd be teasing. Not at all. Stingrays float right by you. That's why you shuffle your feet. If you step on a stingray they will come back and sting you! While shuffling your feet, if you bump in to one it will swim away. Another challenge is that you sink as you shuffle in to the mud. We were glad the water was only up to our knees at the most. One of the fishermen down here has gotten stung twice by a sting ray.
Us shuffling our feet.
The professional fisher caught us some spotted sea trout, as for us we got bites but never got the fish to shore. We got some delicious fish the next dinner...
We didn't get in to the house till 10:00pm. It was such a pretty site to see the sunset while in the water.
Beautiful!!

Interesting Experiences...
We wanted to share some of our experiences in the new territory to everyone. We have had a good response to far. We are slowly trying to rebuild our call books, which might take a while! But that's okay, we are so ready!
I will start by telling you are early morning witnessing experience. It was pretty interesting. We have a small group that meets in the morning at 7:30 to hit the gas stations and local grocery stores. We were at a gas stop & one of the younger brother gets out of the car & head towards a man that is getting gas, he caught him right before he went into the store. He placed one Awake with him. As he talked to him for a minute he said that his ex-wife & mother-in-law were both a witness.
Meanwhile, my dad catches a man leaning against his car. He brought 3 or so magazines with him & said whichever one he finds interesting he can take. He took all three of them! We were sitting in the car & the man that the younger brother came up to our car door, my dad rolled down his window. The man says "Hey, you gave that man three magazines and a Watchtower! How come I didn't get one?" My dad asked him if he would like a copy of the Watchtower & he said he would love one. While we talked to him, he said that he studied with a brother once in the Crawfordville Kingdom Hall. We left him an invitation to the meeting & said that if he would like to resume his study we would love to help him!
It was such an encouraging experience. We definitely saw how Jehovah's holy spirit was in our car group!
Here is our second experience. This will be interesting. When we first got here, we went into a neighborhood by the ocean. As you enter you will read a sign that says 'Aircraft Have Right Of Way'.
At first I thought they were joking. Nope! As you go in you see that almost all the houses have hangers for their planes & there is a take off lane for the planes. It was my turn to go to the door, I snagged Riley to go with me. The woman was outside and immediately approached us. She was very friendly. I got through half of my presentation, then she said "I am so sorry, Just one second could I interrupt? My husband is about to land his plane!" I said "Of course!" Then her husband comes in with his plane and lands it right in their back yard! I thought- how cool is that! So I continued with my presentation. Then for a second time she said "Could I interrupt again?" Next thing we know her husband is flying his plane from out of their backyard! We got to watch him up close. I got to share a scripture or two with her and offered the magazines on Religion and Politics, she seemed to be interested! I can't wait to go back to here and offer her the new magazines!
