Turtles

Last Thursday we needed to leave Guyana, our time on our passport stamp was up. It is getting harder and harder for Missionaries to get through immigrations in the countries here in the mission.
We planned our trip to Trinidad and the senior missionaries said they were going to see the turtles Friday and Saturday. We went last year and it was great so we decided to go again this year.

We had a great time and saw a lot of turtles. We go down on the beach after dark when the turtles come in. We had 10 turtles right around us digging holes and laying eggs. They have over 200 come in each night to lay eggs. Sometimes they dig up other nests and the eggs are ruined then the dogs and vultures eat the eggs in the morning. The turtles are awesome but the little hatchlings have a rough time surviving if they manage to hatch at all.
We had a great trip.
