 Hello Family and Friends,

Happy Birthday LaDawn on July 6th!

Another School Year has come to a close. 

There are a lot of Great Summer Plans on the Horizon. 

We wish everyone a Wonderful Summer!


In Saint Maarten ...it was a little miracle to have the storms pass us by. Elder Fer was able to fly out early Saturday morning ,with his companion, and the Mission President and his wife, to the Dominican Temple. He was also able to have his Patriarchal Blessing. Everything fell quickly into place. What a Wonderful Blessing for him!






Sunday we enjoyed an Ice cream treat after Church. It was fun to visit with the Branch.











Later the Sisters came by for dinner and helped start preparations for Zone Conference. The next Morning we continued with preparations and airport pickups began.











The Assistants to the President, Elder Hunt and Elder Smith Parker and the Sisters were busy on the computer  getting their work caught up ....



President and Sister Bickmore with Elder Fer and Elder Hansen came back just in time for Zone Conference here in Saint Maarten. They had a Wonderful Experience the Temple in The Dominican Republic.  
Sister Aubuchon is finishing her mission this transfer. She gave her Departing Testimony to all of Us. 













Everyone enjoyed Lunch and visiting time together







The next day, Elder Hunt. one of the AP'S had a Very special 20th Birthday. He is one of twelve children now. This morning his mother gave birth to a baby girl! What a Birthday Gift!!







We  spent a Fun day at Parrot Ville Park and the Iguana stand.








 






















































They had an Antique Room. Interesting the clock on the back wall is similar to the one we received for a wedding gift 52+ years ago. It is hanging on our wall. I guess that makes us Antique collectors... Right?



Then off we went to the Iguanas...












Then off to Another Island to Another Zone Conference.



The rest of the week was Full of Treats....



And Lots of Visits!
Congratulations to Naiah on Being the Most Prepared!!


All in All, it was a Pretty Awesome Week! 
We Hope Your Week was Pretty Spectacular too!

Enjoy Your Week!

 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! We were even able to help Breah Hirsche celebrate here twelfth birthday!  Happy Birthday to Our Granddaughter RACHEL, February 25, 13 years old!! We Love You!! Have a good week!
