Welcome to Another Saint Maarten Blog! 

First:

Happy 13th Birthday To Sasha Vermeeren September 20th!

Happy 15th Birthday to Jack Vermeeren September 26th!

We are very Excited for Our Grandson, Austin Vermeeren. His Mission Farewell is Sunday! He will Love Being a Missionary in Fort Worth , Texas.

We Love Our Precious Family!


September is my Favorite time of Year. We will miss Canada's Beautiful Fall colours.
Here in Saint Maarten the cyclone season is getting closer to it's end. Hopefully a little cooler weather will arrive soon.

Our week began with a darling little young Lady bringing her best friend to the Branch Fun Night to join her at the play dough table.



The drive for Saturday Visits was not disappointing...







A Lovely Visit with Norma, a very sweet Lady with a Beautiful Smile!


We enjoyed having the Sisters as Dinner guests.

We Love Sundays! 
We are Grateful for Our Saviour, Jesus Christ.



A Vote to revisit the Bird Park was no surprise on P-Day. Lots of new missionaries to enjoy over 140 breeds of Parrots.









































Then a quick stop to the iguanas






Enjoying the grass....


P-Day Chores




And Visiting Families to meet...





We even Saw a Museum that one of Our Sons Would have Loved....







The Sisters Had a Successful Lemonade Stand...




Beautiful Rainbows and Sunrises....





Meeting New Friends... like Annette.


Continuing to walk 5 klm. every weekday regardless of the weather....






We Love Serving the People here in saint Maarten. Everyday we see miracles as we find and fellowship new and returning members. It is no surprise that people are finding us on days we can't find them! Now that's a MIRACLE!





Our Lives are Blessed as we try to Bless the Lives of Others!
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!
