Bermuda Brief

Sister Veronica had a source for shoes, we had around 5 large boxes that she brought to Church and after our meetings surprised the sisters.  They each were able to pick out shoes and the remainder are headed to the Phillipines with Sister Jay when she visits family.  It was great fun and so kind of Veronica.

It's been a while, this is where the "Bermuda Branch" meets.  It's a great building, the only concern, they are outgrowing this building.  Isn't that terrific!  The spirit is very strong at the branch and by the way these folks can sing, wonderful strong voices.  Everyday we keep saying to each other just how lovely the members are and the Bermudian on the street. Grateful to be here. 

I thought our Elders looked very Bermudian in this picture.  They do a lot of studying, but don't be fooled they are always on the go, from parish to parish, working very hard.  They know what they are about our Fathers work.  They do it very well .   We all greatly love the people here.

We were able to experience our first zone conference.  It wasn't your normal missionary zone conference, as we were viewing from our small living space along with the two Elders serving here.  It was sent to us via skype.  It worked quite well, other than the few times it froze up.  We heard from President and Sister Nelson, as well as two visiting authorities.  Elder   and  Elder and their wives. But non the less it was fun to see what the mission is up to.  We tilted the screen about 1:00, and had a light lunch but still hearing every word.  Just one of the benefits of sitting at home.

Dwayne is the fourth one from the left, with the great smile! Shaq is in the back waving. Shaq is on the left, he is #1 in Raleigh India Raleigh is a youth and education charity with 26 years experience in providing adventurous and challenging expeditions for people from all backgrounds, nationalities and ages, especially young people.  Watch our videos at the Raleigh YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/RaleighInternational These two young men joined the church this summer.  Immediately after Shaq joined they left on this wonderful excursion to do service.  We've been impressed with the Raleigh organization.  They look like they are having such a great time and meeting many new friends.  We miss them.  When they get back they will receive the priesthood and in doing so will greatly bless the Branch.
