We were blessed this week with 6 missionaries from Guadalupe. The french island of Guadalupe has had some protesting these past few weeks. But it finially got bad enough to evacuate the missionaries and send them to Guyana. Lucky for us, they spent a few days in St. Lucia along the way. They arrived on their preparation day, got changed, and came over for a quick lunch. Between the Collings, a BC couple's two laptops and our two lap tops, the four visiting elders could email their families at our home, while the other four played phase 10 cards with elder Hymas. The Collings took a little nap. It was fun to have 8 elders around. Kind of reminds me of having hockey players around, but these young men came here with purpose. Being a little displaced, our elders put them to work. All 8 elders canvased a new city about 30 minutes south of us. It was great. In two days, they had invited over 100 people to come to a little church meeting we plan to have there on Sunday. Wow. What a powerful blessing they were to us. We wish them good luck on their next temporary adventure and hope they eventually get back to their island where they can speak French and renew ties with the members of the church there.
