A Room with a View
We arrived Thursday in St. Kitts Nevis. St. Kitts (St.
Christopher) is named after Christopher Columbus who first claimed the island
for Spain. Nevis is a nearby island and the two of them make up their own
country. The total population of both is about 70,000. They have their own
currency which is EC (Eastern Caribbean Dollar). You travel to Nevis by ferry.
There are members of the church on Nevis but they meet there in their own little
group meetings – dependent on the branch in St. Kitts. We have been told that
we might spend a week there occasionally.
Friday after we unpacked our bags, we jumped in the car,
filled it up with expensive gas and spent 1 ½ hours driving around the whole
island. We only missed one turn and ended up in some farmer’s yard on this
adventure. We backtracked a bit then made it back to our apartment without another
problem.
On St. Kitts there is just one set of young elders and one
senior couple (us!) On Friday they took us around to visit four families
comprised of investigators or less actives that they are going to pass on to us
to teach. We have appointments with all four next week.
We feel so lucky to be living on this tropical island and in
this beautiful apartment with a view of the ocean out our front door.
Wow! Nice apartment and view. Best wishes for successful appointments with those four families next week. :)
