This was on the way to Provo from S. Caicos. As you can see, it's a very small plane. We all thought it was funny that Mitch, Gabe, and Scott all had to cram into the back 3 seats.
This is at the conch farm. This was Sally the girl conch. They have them trained to come out of their shell like that. The boy was named Larry. 
This is the storm. The waves were crashing up over the sea wall onto us and the old hotel that's next to ours. 
This is our pier, as you can see, the waves are crashing over the boats. One of the boat lines snapped and the staff had to scramble to make sure the boat didn't float away. 
This is the wall right in front of where some of the staff live. This is probably one of the smaller waves we saw. I got a picture of one of the bigger waves, but it's really blurry.Hey everyone,
So we had break from Wednesday to yesterday (Sunday). I went to Provo and met up with Mom and Dad. We had a lot of fun. We did a lot of shopping and eating and we went to the conch farm as well. Dad and I wanted to go parasailing and kayaking but they said it was too windy. Which brings me to my next point, we are in the process of getting hit by tropical storm Noel!!!
Last night the pouring rain started as did the howling winds. Our window did not get fixed over break so we woke up to a pond on our floor this morning. During class today the power went out so we had to postpone things until the ceiling in the classroom stopped leaking and the power came back on. There are puddles inside every room here, turns out the roofs all leak. The power came back on after about an hour so it was a nice little break.
We were supposed to be doing a field exercise today and tomorrow, but that has been postponed since the waves are like 8 feet high. Instead of doing work, most of us have been taking pictures and videos of the storm, it's pretty exciting.
Other than the storm, there's not too much going on. We have classes for the next two weeks and then another set of finals, then we get to do our directed research projects for the rest of the time. I hope all of you are doing well!!

Michelle, I hope you & your parents are ok following Noel! Sounds like it was quite an experience for you. Just wanted to say hi...the girls had a blast tonight Trick or Treating. Julia was a witch w/ purple fur trimmed costume, Samantha was the little green forest fairy "Tinkerbell" (her description!). MM & Spirit were barricaded in our room. It was my first Halloween with them since I started seminary fall 2004. Really much more fun than previous Halloweens spent in Church History, Systematics and Worship class!
Peace,
lmm

Love,
Michelle
