From Nevis
Adventure to Nevis
Our Branch President,
Pres. G., asked us to go over to Nevis to spend a few days, check on the
members there and talk in sacrament meeting. On Saturday we took the car ferry
over. It was quite an adventure to see how many cars, one truck, one motorcycle,
and pedestrians they could get on the ferry. We counted 14 vehicles. They were
wedged in like sardines. The trip lasted about 30 minutes. When the ferry docks
everyone zips off in a matter of minutes and then there is a line of vehicles
waiting to drive on and take the ferry back to St. Kitts.
There is a senior
missionary apartment on Nevis and that is where we stayed. It is not occupied
by any missionaries right now so the group Sunday services are held there. The
second counselor in the St. Kitts/Nevis branch is going to medical school on
Nevis so he conducted our meeting on Sunday. He and his wife are fabulous.
There were 9 members present, including us. It was such a sweet and tender
meeting, we just loved it. While we were there we checked on some families for
Pres. G. and looked up some investigators that the young elders had previously
taught. There will be a senior couple coming in Feb. so we will update them on
the members there and I’m sure they will build up the branch tremendously. It was a great trip!

You are already having quite the adventures! What sweet looking members on Nevis! Can't imagine what church would be like with only 9 members present. I'm sure they don't take their meetings for granted and maake the most of their time together. Your faces looked the sweetest in the picture though! Love ya and miss ya!! Melissa
