Cruisin' to the Southern Carribean with Corporate Alliance


A time to dress up and have a great dinner. The food was good and the company was even better.

It was probably a once in a lifetime experience to be able to go on a cruise with my mom and dad. My mom was not at all excited to go. Then she went and really enjoyed the trip. On our last excursion, we were on a catamaran and my mom and dad got really into the party and won a dance off. It was great to see them dancing on the boat with just the ocean behind them.

While on our cruise we were able to do a couple of service projects. One of them was an opportunity to paint a LDS Chapel and the surrounding wall. We had between 50 and 60 Corporate Alliance members and friends helping us paint. I was the errand girl and photographer, seeing that I was pregnant and was not supposed to be around oil based paint. The group was able to finish in just over two hours which was a complete miracle. While we were there was found out about President Hinckleys passing. It was good to know that we were doing something the he would of been happy about. A great humanitarian opportunity and a wonderful way to celebrate his life.


What a view!

This was our other service project. We were able to visit a day care for handicapped boys and girls and provided needed supplies for an orphange. Our group provided over $2000 in goods. Many of our group brought items from home and the rest did cash donations. When we where there a group of us were able to go and get things that they needed and bring them to the orphange.
