We were in the Nassau, Bahamas on Sunday. We got up that morning and ate breakfast in the Wind Jammer in our Sunday clothes and then got off the ship for church. We found a taxi to take us to church. It was a few miles from the port. The church building looked similar to American churches but slightly different. Tile was the flooring through out the whole building. Instead of installed pews in the chapel there were soft chairs that could be moved and stacked. I think the chapel was a multipurpose room. We got there a little early so we had time to sit in the chapel for a little bit. They asked James and Kade to help pass the sacrament so that was really neat for them. It was fun going to church in another country. The speakers were so good. A high councilman was suppose to speak but there was a technical problem and they couldn't get it to work. A member of the bishopric ended up speaking instead. He explained that with so many islands, the high councilmen can't travel and so they speak over streaming or a recorded message. It was fascinating to learn how things are outside of the US. We stayed for second hour and James, Kade and Lynnlee really enjoyed young mens and young womens. Tag and Sienna loved primary. I enjoyed Relief Society since I don't get to attend with my calling right now. Marshall went to elder's quorum and enjoyed it.
We arranged with the taxi driver to pick us up at noon. We headed back to the port. We had planned as a family not to shop on Sunday but everyone was a little bummed to not get any souvenirs. We shopped the day before at Coco Cay so no one would have to shop Sunday. They ended up going into one shop just to look and the owner asked them if they had been to "Service." They told her yes and she told them good job and gave them each an ornament shell with the Bahamas on it.
