Elder Rose from Arizona, he will be Elder Whiting's companion for his last transfer on the San Blas islands
The family the missionaries live with on Playon Chico. Near the chapel [right side] and the bridge across to their island
Igwa [he is special]
It is apparent in these pictures that Elder Whiting has lost a lot of weight in this area.
A picture with President Ultiminio at his home.
Ukupa from the air when transferring to Playon Chico. It appears that the chapel is near the edge on the left side.
When the missionaries go there they go in a canoe powered by small motor. Lots of ocean salt spray and sun, with an unsteady platform. And no life vests, unlike the more luxurious tour boats that the missionaries saw go by them, leaving them bouncing in the wake.
Ukupa - notice the absence of any electrical connections to this chapel. So it has some solar and batteries for limited lights, etc. Elevated on stilts to prevent/limit termite damage
Village on Ukupa
Elder Whiting and Elder Wade with 8 year old boys for baptism in the ocean. The missionaries loaned some of their shirts for white clothing.
Chapel interior
The church building was prefab, then moved to the island and erected. It has been kept up and maintained well.
Elder Whiting's hammock, they bring their own when visiting here. This is in a classroom at the chapel where they stayed.
The family at Playon Chico
Ukupa where they eat coconut and lots of mangoes and plantains. Hats and sunglasses are only worn on p-day
