 Thank You for Following our Mission Blog!

 It has been a Joy to Have Elder Lacey, who was once on our home ward in Calgary, serving here in St. Maarten with us. He is one of our French Speaking Missionaries here in Marigot on the French side of the Island. He is a delightful young man with a quick smile!




We have enjoyed welcoming back past members to our little branch. Covid has kept many from joining us. It is Wonderful to have some coming back again!



Sister Fernandez has been saying good bye to so many friends as she finishes 
her mission this week.



We have several medical students that are finishing their courses here and will be flying home to begin their internships. We were blessed to have them and a set of Elders join us for dinner. 
Best Wishes Koltyn and Silas!





This week we picked up our new Sister Missionary Sister Aubuchon, who will replace Sister Fernadez.






A Threesome for the day!


Our District Meeting had a Surprise visit from a Former Missionary who served in 2000!

He and his extend family members (27) arrived from a cruise boat all wearing matching shirts and caps! 

Elder Johnson is the tall one in the middle!


Sister Fernandez we wish you the Best as you move on in your Life! We Love You!








Then after a few busy days of Shredding decades of records....Boykie came to the rescue . With his kindness , he generously shredded many hours of paperwork for us! Thankyou Boykie!

 What a fun filled Week  The Caribbean had a Mission Tour Zoom Meeting Saturday and Sunday with Elder Brent Nielson and Elder Gavarret and their wife's.  Wonderful uplifting messages. We were thrilled to hear there are 20,000 people a month being baptized into the church every month. There are 17 million members worldwide, 300 Temples, and 410 missions! In just one year Africa there were 50 stakes organized in Africa!  Two days later Our Mission President arrived for Zone Conference.  It has definitely been a week of miracles here. Its been exciting .I have started writing down daily miracles. Missions are definitely the Best Kept Secret! Preparing meals, listening to outstanding messages, Blessing the lives of others!
