Farewell to the Sherwoods
It is hard to see missionary couples complete their missions and return home.
We will miss the Sherwoods!
They have done a great work building the church in St Lucia spiritually and physically!
Elder Sherwood was the driving force behind getting a new building for the Castries branch and a fabulous extension that will hold the large group of Saints that gather every Sunday - and most other nights of the week too!
Here he is showing off his 'baby'
We captured them for a few minutes tonight for a quick meal. They wanted to sneak off home through Trinidad with no fuss but we just had to see them one last time. I figured some homemade lemon meringue pie might entice them to stay awhile (it did).
Elder Williamson served in St Lucia with the Sherwoods - they love him!
Apparently last week was non-stop farewell partying in St Lucia. Here are the beautiful young women all dressed up after performing St Lucian dances for the Sherwoods
I am continually amazed and impressed when I see the impact couple missionaries have on the sweet saints of the West Indies.
What a beautiful slide show. I will miss seeing what is happening in St. Lucia through the Sherwoods. Thank you for your service.
