Generally the St Martin elders fly to Guadeloupe or St Lucia for conference. But, because there are four 'displaced' elders from Guadeloupe temporarily serving in St Martin, we flew there for a conference. It was fun to have a largish gathering there.
Here's the group
and here they are - companionship by companionship
Elders Larson and Neff
Elders Catherine and Julian
Elders Gray (who finishes his mission on April 1st!) and Maihota
Elders Anihia and Vogel
We can't forget the couples!
The Collings (left) were with us, stopping for a few days in St Martin on their way from Guyana to return to Guadeloupe; and the Olivers (right) are serving in St Martin
We have been traveling with Dr Millet (area doctor) and Sister Millet. They are a wonderful couple called to serve in the Dominican Republic for 18 months. Dr Millet will tour the mission once per year to check on missionary health. He says they are remarkably healthy young men!
The conference was wonderful!
President told some 'legendary' missionary stories from church history. Elder Julian helped him out by reading a particularly fun part spoken with a Welsh accent
Elders Neff, Gray and Catherine, accompanied by very accomplished Sister Oliver, sang one of my favorite hymns (in French) - "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
After the conference we all dug into a yummy taco salad lunch (organized by the Olivers)
And then the elders shared some of their pictures with me. That's how I get such wonderful images for the slideshows. I have an amazing collection!
