We have frozen this blog as a historical, yet informational view at what life is like in the West Indies Mission for all those called to serve. This blog was designed for the families and friends of those missionaries serving in the West Indies Mission from July 2006 to July 2009. Every six weeks, photos taken at zone conference as well as a new slide show including every person baptized were posted on the blog. All of the slide shows are also available on our You Tube channel. The current West Indies Mission blog can be found here. Posts on our missionary experience can be found here and earlier. And finally, if you are a returned missionary who served in the West Indies, there is a current blog for you. Click here or visit westindiesrm@blogspot.com

Surprise Visit

President Robison and I like to occasionally drop in unannounced on the elders in district or zone meetings. I expect they would be happier, or at least more relaxed, if we weren't there, but we always come away learning so much about missionary work. Yesterday we went to the Trinidad South Zone meeting conducted by Elders Mundy and Guy, the zone leaders. They did a great job and I don't think our presence rattled them (OK - maybe a little). They have big plans for their zone and the missionaries of Trinidad South are excited!

Here are a few pictures I snapped:

Sister Farrer takes such good care of the elders - she brought treats

Aren't they a powerful looking group?

On the way home, this caught my eye - maybe it's a sign (yes I know - I mean the other kind of sign)

Trinidad is extremely close to getting approval from the brethren for their stake. The members are fasting and praying and reading the Book of Mormon during the month of September. I heard of one member who is committed to reading it 3x during the month. What an exciting time!
