Our Arrival back to St. Vincent!

On about May 19th, we received that call that we would transfer to the island of St. Vincent for our last two months of our mission. We, of course, had mixed emotions about this: excited to return to the island where we started and loved! and leaving our Linden Branch people was with heavy hearts; we truly had learned to love these people and felt as if we would love to see the completion of several projects that were started. We flew out of Guyana on May 26, 2010! Our last look from the airplane as we flew away.


We are here now and have felt like we never left--strange feeling! We could drive ourselves directly to where we had shopped before, lived before, and in the first few days, we have visited some of those families that we knew before! It is truly a lovely green lush island that we plan on getting to know better. We will be responsible for two branches: the Kingstown Branch and the Calliaqua Branch (where we were before). It will be the Calliaqua Branch that will take our most attention and we pray that we will be effective in helping them grow, even in our short time here.

The view from our front balcony! And the views from the side and back!


The Rav4 we drive; and the home we live in on the top floor--different car, same house!

Elder Collins found the Wax Apples on the tree by where we park the car (yummm!)

Downtown Kingstown where we drive..........even a Flamboyant on the way!


The view from the Calliaqua Branch Church Building....and the building which is new to us from the first time; at that time, they met in a small building on the main street.


Nearby--the old sugar mill....and some countryside.


The Kingstown Branch Church Building; they seem quite organized and have a real strong nucleus of members; just need to work on re-activation in their area. Several of these members are getting ready to attend the temple; they are midway through the temple prep class. Elder Collins waiting, but always reading something.


The Atlantic Ocean........


We are "home" and ready to serve these people in St. Vincent!
