We had a funny thing happen to us while we were waiting for our next flight to Barbados. We were pretty tired since we had been up mostly since 6:00 am yesterday with only a small amount of sleep. Anyway, both Tina and I fell sound a sleep in the airport. There were tons of people there waiting for their flights. In my sleep I could here someone saying Wake up, wake up over and over. I did wake up and there was a man telling us they were boarding the plane. We jumped up and grabbed our stuff still kind of in a daze getting in line and then we realized it was a different flight at the terminal we were at. Ours didn't leave for another hour and a half. We had a good laugh about it and thanked the gentleman that woke us up.

We did catch our flight on time and it was also uneventful, which we like. It took 4 hours to get to Barbados. The plane was freezing, luckily, a the missionary couple we are replacing, the Hall's, told us to bring a sweatshirt for plane travel, but you won't need it ever again until you go home. We did need it for plane travel and we didn't need it the second we stepped off the plane.

We are in finally in Barbados.

We were greeted by President and Sister Bickmore who is the mission president. They were very nice and filled us in on a few things we would need to know about the mission and country. They dropped us off at the house we will be staying at until we fly to St Lucia on Monday. They told us another couple would come by and take us out to dinner.

The Ellis' did come by and we visited for a while and then we went an got pizza. We met another couple, the Fuller's who were there. We had a nice dinner and they firehose filled us in on things we needed to know about the mission and country.

After dinner we came back to where we are staying, which is a house built in the 1800's. It is very nice and comfortable.

The Fullers stayed and visited until about 8:00pm. Tina and I were very tired and could hardly keep our eyes open. As soon as they left we hit the sack.

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 Make a video for our home ward in US Today was a build a video day for our ward back home. They are having a special primary day activity on Friday and they asked us to create a short video with our testimonies.  So I had to learn a new video maker program. I have always used Windows Movie Maker, but they no longer support it and someone else I think owns it and you can use the free version, but it is very limited. Windows 11 comes with a new program called Clipchamp. I think it is also supported by an outside company, but the free version that comes with Windows 11 has all the features I needed.  I did have to read up on how to use it and watched a bunch of Youtube videos for beginners. Between learning how to use it and using it to create a 2 minute video took all day. I finally got it done about 6:00 pm. We are in the middle of classes at the church right now so we had the evening off.  We had dinner and talked to Corey, oh wait, I didn't talk ...

Sunday, June 22, 2025 Sunday church was pretty smooth. Elder Esikia spoke and goes home next Saturday Lyris Davis spoke on fearing God Harvey showed up but didn't stick around My brother Bevin visiting my sister Tanya Interviewed Mohamad Joseph for temple recommend and Priesthood advancement Benjamin Joseph always asking for stuff from the church Confirmed Anette Valcin today Church went pretty smooth today. Shomario is conducting this month. He got his speakers but I think he got them late. The fact that Maya Jn Paul spoke would make me think that he probably hadn't got his speakers and asked her Saturday night. He asked Elder Esikia to speak and I gave him that suggestion on Saturday so I'm assuming he hadn't got his speakers yet. Elder Esikia spoke on how he decided to go on a mission. He also asked Lyris Davis to speak. She spoke on how we must fear God which is a little bit of an odd topic but she had really prepared it well. It was OK but I need to make sure my co...
