Sabbath, August 13

Just wanted to post a few pictures of our second Sabbath in Palau.  We went to church just like last week, and later we stayed for a baptism of two girls from the school (the principal said some other student missionaries would have given anything to see those students being baptized, so we were standing in for them in a way).

Then in the afternoon we got to go to a waterfall!  We had to walk across the top of the waterfall and go down the other side.

 It looked very much like a jungle...you could almost imagine monkeys swinging through the trees and crocodiles lurking in the water.  But it was pretty safe.

We swam in it and cooled off (the water was cool but nothing like as cold as the water in Maine.  :)

Bonus:  When we got back to the vans to leave, the fruit bats were coming out!  One of them flew out from a tree and swooped really low so I could see its little foxy face and furry body!  It was so cute.  And they're big bats, flying more like birds than the little fluttery ones.  Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture, but they looked like the pictures in National Geographic, so just look one up if you need to...
