Sunday we visited Hebron, Labrador, which was founded as a Monrovian mission in 1831. The Monrovians began establishing missions in Labrador in 1771 and sought to evangelize the Inuit people in Labrador. We spent the morning on a photo walk of the ruins with Ralph and Ira, both National Geographic photographers. There were several old buildings which created a great backdrop for photos.Denise spent most of the time inspecting many samples of very old rock. She found a great sample of stretched gniss that is 2 to 3 billion years old (How does Sara Palin explain this?) In the afternoon, we spent cruised the tickle and spotted a tundra black bear and a minke whale. After a very exhausting day, we all moved to the stern and munched on hot dogs and beer.

Sarah explains it easily: god placed old rocks here as part of the plan. We need old stuff to look at too. If everything was just 4000 years old, geologists wouldn't have much to do. It's an employment thing.
