April 30
Okay, to start off, on Monday right after we finished emailing we drove down to Nanaimo for a Zone P Day! We took a tiny little ferry to an island right along the coast in Nanaimo. There was some hike/ scavenger hunt to a place on the island where some member, decades ago, had buried a set of "gold" plates. Apparently it's been a fun activity/ tradition for the members there to do again and again for a long time. We planned on taking the ferry right after them, but instead of being half an hour apart, we had to wait a full hour after them to get over there. (it was the boat drivers' lunch break.) Sooo we waited at a nearby playground while the Elders did the hike. However, we found out later that the plates weren't even there! Someone took them out and never returned them. :( However, we did play games like ultimate frisbee and whatnot together afterwards. It was tons of fun!

On Wednesday, we joined the young womens/ young mens/ faith in God activity, where we went on a hike in Seal Bay Nature park. It was so pretty, and the tide was waaay out when we got there. We got to hold baby crabs and they gave a lesson on being a light to their friends. Then we lit Chinese lanterns! The one that helped send off was purple. :) So it was quite awesome!!
Yesterday we had exchanges!! It was super fun. Not much success numbers-wise, but it was good to change things up a little. We also met some super interesting people!
But now, today, we had our Sisters P Day together! We went on the same hike as Wednesday with them, and took tons of pictures and whatnot. Both Sister Bloomfield and Sister Yraguen got to hold the little baby carbs, too! We also went to the Goose Spit, which is pretty much the "beach" part along the coast here in Courtenay. We climbed up a HUGE and looooooooong set of stairs and then went walking along the beach. We found tons of shells and whatnot and just overall had fun together!
