 Hello From St. Maarten!

We have yet another Elder Vermeeren in the Mission Field!

Austin now wears the Missionary badge. He has started his mission training! It is such an honour to be able to serve this mission at the same time as four of our seven grandchildren who have served missions so far. We are delighted there are still many more to serve. We are indeed BLESSED!!!


This week has been a great one from start to finish.... A Fun Family Games night began the week. Lots of Happy Smiles and New Friendships!

 We hosted Sunday Dinner for the Kirkham's, the Humanitarian Couple, and the Sister Missionaries.




A P-Day Stop at Mullet Bay.






Enjoying the Missionaries in their new companionships!






A Day with the Kirkham's









Fort Louis was Beautiful!




Then back to reality as the Sisters gave us a few hours to help prepare Zone Conference Lunch.





Zone Conference is Always a Spiritual Feast! 





















                          Happy Birthday to Sister Bickmore!


       Then another Happy Birthday to Emil! He enjoyed a Cinnamon Bun Treat at his Construction Site!


And the missionaries Enjoyed a Treat too!




 Beautiful sights and Beautiful People....












We are in for some interesting weather this weekend as "Tammy" has announced her presence in our area. Nothing like a little hurricane to help you appreciate the mostly Beautiful weather we have been enjoying.

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!
