The Collings are a missionary couple serving on the island of Guadalupe. (Before we moved to Penticton, they lived in that ward) All the missionaries there have been evacuated due to social unrest having something to so with the French. So they are staying with us for a few days until they can be relocated temporarily. But since they are here in St. lucia, they were able to get in touch with the Elliots, who are staying on our island about an hour south of us in Soufree. The Elliots are friends of ours from the Okanagan area of BC. We all met at the Elliots home for dinner last evening and had such a great visit. Funny how we all came together here at this moment in time and are/were all from the same cornor of Canada. In addition to a great dinner, the Elliots sent us home with this delicious bottle of local honey. It looks like its in an old liquor bottle. Probably is. Maybe that is the thing that makes it so good.

Good to see all of these good Canadian friends toughing it out in the sunny Caribbean. What a treat to all be serving in the same mission. Looks like the Elliots are getting the training to follow suit.
Good to see great Canadians gather in a common cause. The Elliots are getting good preparation to join you in the work.
