Fishing in Bocas and a baptism

Hi all! So we have been settling into a routine and are keeping ourselves busy.  After school, service, and meeting, we can always find time for fishing and fun.  Ty has found an addiction:  fishing off the dock in front of our house.  Tito, as the kids on the island (also Spanish for Titus), has seen some action: Here are his action shots:

He asks constantly to go, but we take him often since he has such a good time catching  "tiger fish."  No fishing pole needed, just line a hook and a plastic sprite bottle...good old fashion fun!

The kids also enjoy swimming and wading in our beach.  Speaking of swimming, here's another story for you...a "bocas baptism"

So about a week ago, Raymond had the privilege of taking the service group out on a Monday.  It was a rainy day, but he spent a nice long day in service and was coming home.  As you all know we take a boat from the main island of Bocas to our smaller island home of Carenero.  Raymond had on his service clothes, a backpack with his service stuff in it, and a water proof wind breaker.  He was just stepping of the dock when the boat sort of drifted away from the dock.  With an audience of water taxi drivers, that we see everyday, he tipped over the side.  One leg in the boat and one leg and half his body in the water...as you can imagine he was quite wet and his pride was slightly hurt at falling into the sea.  Thankfully he has a sense of humor and pinosh.  He righted himself on the dock, took a bow for all the laughing taxi drivers, and proceeded to taxi home half drenched and feeling fully like an islander.  He pauses at our door and proceeds to strip right then and there.  No literature nor his bible was wet although everything else he was wearing needed a washing  Our only true casualties were his pride and the ancient apple iphone 3G.  Yup it's dead.   I didn't take any pictures, but I'm sure you can visualize how funny this must have been!
