The Three Sisters

The weekend that we went to Taranaki we planned on going to visit the Three Sisters with the Zone leaders as this was out of their area we got special permission from President to go. Yippee! And what a fun time we had. Because you can only reach The Three Sister when the tide is out we had to leave a little earlier than originally planned. These pictures tell part of the story. I wish I could post the video of Elder Saunders running along the beach then Elder Christensen catching him up in about 3 seconds, so funny. The Three Sisters are the three rocks you can see behind us.

There were many little caves with very pretty surroundings along the beach. Part of the sand was very muddy and we had to be careful not to slip although I was hoping someone would, what a lovely photo that would have taken. I even instructed the Elders that if I slip not to worry about me but save my camera and take a photo. Elder Christensen loves crabbing and managed to catch this tiny one. He was lucky to not get nipped as this one was pretty feisty. He tried prodding this purple one out from under the rock but would not come out to play with us.

 Then to finish the afternoon off the Elders got covered in mud. I made them pose for these photos so that I could post them on FB and embarrass them to their families. I just had to do that because they locked me in the toilets!!!! So that was only fair, right. They did actually wash their feet off in the sink.
