Happy Birthday to Our Son Jeff January 2nd!

This week began with Service Projects and a Humanitarian Project of Feeding the homeless. A visit to an orphanage and many stops to people in need. It was quite an experience for all of us.

























It was quite a surprise on Christmas Eve the Branch President and his family gave all the missionaries a little gift! 







Then a sweet Loan of a Television.... Taco Night and The Movie: Sound of Music for Christmas Eve Celebrations at one of the Missionary Flats!









On Christmas Morning after the Elders Spent a couple of hours of Volleyball on the Beach then they treated us to a Pancake Breakfast







Then they all came down to our Flat to see what Santa Brought.
























A Couple of Elders stayed for Christmas Dinner KP..







Some Finished  watching The Movie, Guests arrived, and Christmas Dinner Began...






Then What a Christmas Party we had!!!

The Zone put on a Nativity Program. We had Mary, Joesph, Baby Jesus, an Angel, Shepards and a sheep, The three Kings too! It's the first time we've heard of these particular gifts bing given! They all did a Fantastic Job!!!
























Then everyone lead us in their Favourite Christmas Song, Each Companionship had a game prepared....





Then we had a White Elephant gift Exchange. Elder Esikia was over the top thrilled with his new recorder... there were books, mini basketball, head scarves, pens, a pink shower cap, blue suspenders..Lots of Crazy fun gifts were exchanged.! We had a delightful evening together. A Wonderful Fun Christmas to remember!





The Elders really had to work off all those ChristmasTreats....




The rest of the week was  visits....





And the usually busy craziness!

Sunny skies and Beautiful Blue Water...





It really is a Beautiful Place to Serve a Mission!

We wish you and Your Families a Wonderful 2024 filled with Many Blessings!

 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!
