The missionaries in Canje and Berbice were impressive yesterday
Just look at them - many in their long-sleeved white shirts (despite the heat and no AC)
Berbice Zone
Canje Zone
It is always so wonderful walking into a room full of elders - clean, dedicated, and eager to learn. They are such gentlemen. They stand up and great us, pick up and carry my briefcase, see that ladies eat first...
They will make great husbands and fathers someday
Just look at them! Aren't they amazing young men?
Elders Lundberg, Sorber, Parrish and Warhurst
Elders Welch, Packer, Coronado, and Roger Ramnerein (sp?) - a wonderful new member who is serving a mini mission while he gets his missionary application ready to go
Elders Temarono, Wright, Swart, and Duncan
Elders Lee, Sturdevant, and Ritchie
Elders Lang, Stebbing, and Scott
And here's a few special groups
Serving from the West Indies and in the West Indies!
Brother Ramnerein (mini missionary from Guyana), Elder Clarke (from Jamaica - finishing his mission in 2 weeks!), and Elder Jailall and Jordan (from Guyana)
Dutch speaking elders
Elders Sorber and Swart
French speaking elders (some displaced because of strikes in Guadeloupe and Martinique)
Elders Temerono, Wright, and Roberts
And the four fine assistants - two serving in a temporary assignment as traveling assistants in Guyana
Elders Dayton and Mundy (traveling), McDaniel and Hamilton
And a VERY special group - three missionaries under call! Don't they look happy?
Sister BiBi (Santo Domingo West), Danesh (Puerto Rico West), and Siter Roopa (Santo Domingo West)
It was a fine zone conference
Elders McDaniel and Mundy reviewing the Preach my Gospel steps of commiting
With an excellent musical number
led by talented Elder Ritchie
The couples (Bullocks, Larsens, and Treseders) made a delicious lunch, as usual
Elder Sorber
Elder Lang (officially the pickiest eater in the mission - note his baked potato only lunch) and Elder Stebbing
And finally, here is the newest couple in Guyana - the Treseders from Mesa, Arizona (on the left)
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
