After church, we went with Brother Croft to visit the Allan Family. The Allens have been members of the church for 25 years. They cannot afford to take transportation to get to the family group. So we visited them. Brother Croft is a priest. We invited him to prepare himself for the Melchezedek Priesthood and then prepare to go to the temple. He got excited about those ideas. Then we asked his son Evenson if he was interested in serving a mission. He is 19. He said he was. We spent a little time explaining that missions take sacrifice and hard work. We also explained the blessings of a mission that will come to him, his family and the members on Nevis by his serving. If he and one other person from St. Kitts serve missions, the mission president will send full time missionaries to their island. Evenson does not have a penny to his name and is looking for a job. Jobs are so hard to find on this island. We will come back next month and see if we can find a way for him to prepare himself to serve. With the help of the nearby branch and a miracle from the Lord, I'm sure he can have the desire of his heart and bless others along the way.
