We have/had a turtle in the backyard that has been hibernating. It even has its own little hibernating basket. Sister Benton asked us to watch out for its waking and to remember to feed it. She said that the gardener had asked for it, but wondered if we wanted it and we told her yes, we would enjoy a backyard turtle.
It did finally wake up a couple of weeks ago and then it disappeared. I was chatting with Maria (our house helper) one day and telling her that we hadn’t been able to find the turtle and she told me that the turtle was lonely. She said that she has a turtle at home and took it because it was sooo sad. I didn’t say anything to her except for, “Oh.”
The missionaries have asked about it, but we had no choice except to report that it is at Maria’s house. But then yesterday…
…we looked out back and saw the turtle! We rushed out to feed it some radish tops and apples, which it loved!
So I am guessing that things didn’t work out in the relationship with Maria’s turtle.
Anyway…we are happy that it is back.
