Leaving Barbados for St. Lucia. Our plane in the background

This morning Tina and I got up and went to walk the beach. It is a beautiful morning. We walked what they call the Boardwalk. We walked until you couldn't walk that direction any further then turned around and went back. Some how we missed the place on the beach where you go back to our house and kept going. Eventually we realized we did not recognize the area from our walk last night. We were totally confused. Even though we knew we were not totally lost, but just didn't know where the house was was a funny feeling. You look around and there is nothing that looks familiar. Did we walk to far or not far enough. Tina was getting really tired. We finally ask a man which direction was the Boardwalk and he pointed back the way we came. Well we finally found the spot and got back home. Sometimes we get lost in life and need to stop and ask God what direction is home. He will always point the way, not only point the way, but take you there.

We had training with the mission staff today before flying out to St. Lucia They gave us a lot of information to know. I just hope we can recall it all at some point. Elder Ellis and his wife and Elder Fuller and his wife and the President Bickmore and his wife all spent time with us to go over their respective area's. 

We flew to St. Lucia in in the afternoon and was met their by Elder Hall and his wife and all the missionaries when we arrived in St. Lucia. They were all excited to see us. We visited and were introduced to everyone. Elder Hall and his wife took us to our motel which is pretty nice. We will be here for 8 days while Elder and Sister Hall train us and then when they go home we will move into their house when they leave next Monday.

It's a world wind...
