Earlier this month we had a mission tour from one of the area presidency members. His name is Elder Anderson. We had the pleasure of meeting Elder Anderson once when we were in Guyana. This time, he and his wife were here to tour the mission. He requested a meeting with all of the couples in the mission. We had about 6 or 7 couples that are serving as service missionaries from Puerto Rico in attendance. We had 2 sets of service missionaries from the islands and 6 sets of full time couple missionaries fly in for the meeting. We flew the couple in the day before. They had a little time for shopping, going to dinner and enjoyed a little socializing. They don't get many opportunities to get together. later The next morning they enjoyed Elder and Sister Anderson remarks at a zone conference, went to lunch, had a little personal time in the afternoon, and that evening, came to our place for a little island specific meeting where we discussed the area focus for the next few months, the importance of seminary and institute enrollment and graduation for the youth and young adults as well as some new in field training guidelines to help them teach the lessons of the gospel. It is great to get together. Sorry we didn't have the people in the back stand up to be seen. At this point, the Steckers are in Antigua, the Hadlocks in St. Kitts, the Icelys in St. Croix, the Babcocks and sisters Walthers and Cooper in Dominica, the Vickery's in Tortola, and the Murdocks in St. Thomas. What a great group of servants we get to work with.
