Roatan

For the last three days of our trip we flew to the island of Roatan.  We stayed in a beautiful resort right on the ocean  It was a great way to relax after an amazing time in Guatemala.  We had a lot of fun sitting by the pool, snorkeling, walking on the beach and exploring.  Jon was able to go and do a dive one afternoon while Brianna and I sat by the pool.  One morning we got up early and went to a zipline. 

Our group was large enough that we flew from Guatemala to Roatan on a chartered plane.  It was kind of fun to be able to walk off the plane right next to the ocean.

We took a water taxi one night over to the other side of the island to eat dinner.  It was quite an adventure not knowing anything about any of the restaurants.

We were the only ones at this restaurant we chose to eat at.  We were a little worried but the food was great. 


Getting all the instructions for the zipline.  It was so hot and humid we thought we were going to die!  We couldn't wait to get back to the resort to jump into the pool.



Sunday was our last day at the resort.  We had a sacrament meeting to bear testimonies and then we loaded the buses and headed to the airport.  We were sad to see our trip come to an end.  We had an amazing time and got to know a lot of great people.  Our lives will forever be changed from our trip and the service that we able to do.  We will think of the people we served often and wonder what paths their lives have taken.  It was such a neat experience to be able to be there with Brianna and see her testimony grow and the effect this trip had on her.
