Whiteheads Visit....

On June 16-19, Elder and Sister Whitehead, serving currently in Guyana, paid a visit to our island for the purpose of Humanitarian service. We visited the Red Cross, Victoria Hospital in Castries, the Anse la Raye Health Center, a new project by the division of Human Services & Family Affairs and the Upton Gardens Girls Centre. Then we reviewed the Children's Home in Gros Islet that the Church has already helped. They have a huge job and keep themselves super busy looking for new projects wherein our Church can help. We were busy and loved it! Time was taken to show them the island on Thursday--some pictures follow.

Overlooking Marigot Bay--along the West Coast--South of Castries.


Touring Marigot Bay--the docks and the shops.


The Pitons in the background......and pigs on way!


Onto and into Diamond Falls and The Botanical Gardens......







The Jalousie Resort between the two Pitons was a great stop.


We met the Faux Couple (from Vieux Fort) at the Cocoa Plantation and had a really nice buffet lunch: drove back to Vieux Fort with them; then visited their apartment.


Then headed up the East Coast--stopped by the Dennery Falls (and they were "falling" today!)


Loving every minute! Whooops! Missed a step and down she went! That hole was a lot deeper than any of us thought! It's a good thing that our weather here is always in the 80's!


We laughed together and went on to enjoy the rest of the day. We traveled the entire island circle back to where they were staying in Rodney Bay. Their trip here, for us anyway, was enlightening as to Humanitarian Work, and great fun!
