Well I wanted to post this on Sunday while everything was fresh in my mind... but clearly that didn't happen. This time instead of writing from my awesome apartment I'm posting from a place called Mango 6. Its kinda a drink and food place, and yes they do server mangos. I originally came here to study. (wow never thought I'd say that again... or Ever...) I'm currently studying IT stuff, Networking to be specific, so I can try to get a job in the IT field when I return the the wonderful United States. The weekend was mostly uneventful. We had pathfinders on Sabbath and i taught the First Aid honor. The kids didn't seem interested but I don't really blame them. That's not their most interesting honor. The kids want the Video Gaming honor. Maybe we can create that one for them. Saturday night we went to a Chinese restaurant. The food was decent but they took forever bringing it out.
Sunday, I slept in. I think the longest I have slept in since I have been here. And let me tell you it feels great to sleep in until 8:00 am. After skying my family, I went did some exploring with some of the SMs here. we went to a place called Old Man by the Sea first. The hike down to it was beautiful. it reminding me of the movie Swiss Family Robinson. It was incredible. the beach itself was very pretty too, but I didn't see the Old Man.

The first picture is around the cliff side. I was taking some pictures of the waves crashing over the rocks. the Second picture is one of the bigger waves, The picture of me is after one of those bigger waves crashed over me soaking me and my phone. At least my phone still works though, but if it ever dies, the Pixel 2 did just come out..... Maybe I need to be a little less careful.
After that we went to a place called Jeffry's Beach and I think it is one of the most beautiful places I have been on the Island. You turn on to a small dirt road off the main road to get there and when we went it was muddy, I went through a few of the mud puddles no problem, then we saw a huge one in front of us. On of the SMs said "Maybe we should just I walk, I wouldn't do that if I were you." So I stopped and backed up a bit making him think I was going to listen, then gunned it. It was the most disappointing puddle of my life, the ground underneath was very well packed so the hope of getting stuck was lost. We got to the parking area and it didn't look like were were still on Saipan. It looked a little bit like some of the places I've been backpacking. I will hopefully get to go back on Friday as we have the day off. It's Citizenship Day, Saipan has so many holidays, you'd think everyone here was Jewish. But it does feel nice to have a day off once in a while.
Hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. Until next time, everyone have a great week.
