May 24 Bermuda Day Parade & Half Marathon

-
A Bermudian Band lead off for the Parade..................Don't they look great!
Notice the ballerinas running, the two on the right are men, Ha ha, what good sports!
Our fellow member Aaron, from England, he did great. 


We were fortunate enough to meet up with Sister Trott (brown hair). She shared her family, food & shade, she's the BEST! They have such a nice family.
Bermuda Day is a big celebration here, rightfully so, they are proud to be Bermudians.  The Elders and us decided we would join in by attending the parade and watching for our Branch President and our friend Aaron  to finish the race.  It was fun to cheer them on and enjoy the many families out for the day. They start the day before by marking their place along the route.  Some actually camp for the night to get the prime spots.  Most have sun tents to shade them, all have chairs and a table for cooking or preparing food for the family and friends.  I must say the food looked delicious.  They all were enjoying themselves immensely.  It did contribute to us missing our family and friends. We thought a great deal of each of you that day.  To console ourselves we opted to eat at the "Hog Penny", Rachel Ray visited there last year to eat.  I'm HAPPY to report it was as good as she had said.

Dwayne is the fourth one from the left, with the great smile! Shaq is in the back waving. Shaq is on the left, he is #1 in Raleigh India Raleigh is a youth and education charity with 26 years experience in providing adventurous and challenging expeditions for people from all backgrounds, nationalities and ages, especially young people.  Watch our videos at the Raleigh YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/RaleighInternational These two young men joined the church this summer.  Immediately after Shaq joined they left on this wonderful excursion to do service.  We've been impressed with the Raleigh organization.  They look like they are having such a great time and meeting many new friends.  We miss them.  When they get back they will receive the priesthood and in doing so will greatly bless the Branch.

It's been a while, this is where the "Bermuda Branch" meets.  It's a great building, the only concern, they are outgrowing this building.  Isn't that terrific!  The spirit is very strong at the branch and by the way these folks can sing, wonderful strong voices.  Everyday we keep saying to each other just how lovely the members are and the Bermudian on the street. Grateful to be here.
