This turtle shell was hanging on the wall in our apartment when we moved in. Papa Tom put a ruler on the floor so you can see how big it is. Can you see how shiny the shell is? The shell has things like scales around the edges.
You can see how bight shell is compared to Nana's hand. Nana and Papa have snorkelled beside turtles bigger than this in Hawaii. The turtles just thought we were a different kind of fish!
Here is the underside of the shell, can you see the turtle backbone? You can also see Papa Tom's missionary shoes he wears. Because of all the wet weather the missionaries can wear Crocs.
Ok, Nelson and Jackson this one is for you. This is a picture of a petrified gecko that was caught in our office door jam many, many months ago. We call him Stretch and he has become a mission legend in our office. All the missionaries have to come to see Stretch. It is amazing that the janitors haven't cleaned it. As he has become part of the local folklore, we can't even scrape him off.
