 Welcome to this week's St. Maarten Blog! 

Happy Birthday to Lesley Vermeeren April 9th!

We were also Blessed to celebrate our 53rd Wedding Anniversary April 10th, 2024.




We Loved the Opportunity to Listen to the 194th Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What Wonderful Inspirational messages we were able to enjoy on Saturday and Sunday. It was a Great opportunity to hear and be counselled by living Prophets and Apostles.



We had a Potluck Dinner with the Missionaries between sessions of Conference. They were delighted to show off their cooking skills.




We enjoy spending time with the missionaries as they enjoy their free time, as they visits others, and complete appoints and tasks.






They even help us celebrate..



The Mission President and assistance came through St. Maarten in route to the next island zone conference. We enjoyed Lunch with them ;before their flight left again.






We Enjoy Beautiful sunrises each morning. This morning a crab tried walking the track with us.


 


This is Our Flat . We Live on the Bottom and the Elders live Above and beside us.


This week we enjoyed More Birthdays and Visits...






We Love the Variety of People we have come to know,The sights we have seen and the experiences we have had that will shape our Lives forever!






Two weeks until we take our Group to the Santo Domingo Temple. Excitement is rising as preparations continue!
Remember they are Still looking for a Senior Couple to replace us... Could it be You??????

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!
