Welcome to this week's Blog...

Happy Birthday March 4th to Stacy!

Another Great Week in St. Maarten. The Branch get together is now on Saturday afternoons. The Activity day now includes some daylight time. We hope to have outdoor activities such as Volleyball tournaments and perhaps a barbecue at the beach. It is a Great opportunity to invite our Friends to Come and See!

Sister Joesph taught a Relief Society Lesson on Knowing Jesus Christ. What a Blessing it is to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Our Lives!

What a delight to take a three generation picture of daughter, mom, and grandma! Beautiful Chenoa, Alana, and Loraine!

District Meeting is a weekly highlight as we plan and brainstorm ideas to further the Gospel and serve the people. Many are blessed with work projects and support that is offered. Our Mission President has a Devotional for everyone on all seven islands every week too!

School Adventures..

The Beautiful uniformed children are precious indeed. We live very close to a school . Here, in St. Maarten, the students sing many of their lessons. We enjoy hearing their sweet voices throughout the day.

The Missionaries enjoyed a P-Day hike...Alana has been in a hiking club for a long time and enjoys sharing her knowledge and Love for her Beautiful Island.

And what a Beautiful Island it is!

Sister Poussard was able to take a picture of a Portuguese Man of War!

Another Elder has arrived of the Island. Elder Cherrington will now be in a threesome with the Cole Bay Elders, Elder Walsh and Elder Jn Paul. Welcome Elder Cherrington! We Have Amazing Missionaries serving in the Barbados Bridgetown Mission.

This week the Traffic on the Island has been very busy. The Regatta is taking place March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Draw bridges have been letting boats through into the harbours every few hours. Appointment times have been difficult to schedule, but they are happening. There are Lots of Tourists on the Island to see these Beautiful Boats sail around the Island. It really is a site to see!

We are starting to teach Temple Classes a Second Time around this Sunday. We Love Teaching about the Temple and it's Blessings. We are grateful for the Experiences of serving Senior Missions. They have enriched our Lives and Strengthened our Testimonies.
