President Robison was here for a fireside on Thanksgiving and mentioned his friends David and Ruth Jarvis and there was a possibility they might need a ride to church. They called on Saturday and we arranged to pick them up at 9:25 am. In the meantime, Elder Barton got very sick, but insisted on coming to church. We couldn't decided if we should make them stay home, except President Ramkissoon had called and said he couldn't get to church because of a land slide. Brother Estrado was still in Trinidad. George was teaching Primary and I was teaching seminary at 9:00 and speaking on FHE. We needed someone to teach the other 2 Sunday School classes so we decided we had better go pick them up for church. He dropped me off at 8:45 to get the church ready and teach seminary. He picked up the Jarivis couple then went to get the elders. Brother Jarvis helped set up. Sister Ramkissoon was a speaker and couldn't get there, so we asked the Jarvis's to speak and bear their testimony. We had an attendance of 19. My talk on FHE was heard by Sister Dookran who already does it each week. The couples for whom it was created were not in attendance.
George took the missionaries home while I cleaned up and Brother Jarvis took down the sacrament. We then took the Jarvis's to the Plantation Villas and came home and crashed.
The Jarvis's were unable to attend the Sunday the Green's were here, but they called us on Monday and invited us to a walk on the beach and lunch. We thouroughly enjoyed our visit with them.
Here is a fisher (pelican) waiting for lunch to appear.
We are like these fishermen trying to gather our catch. Some Sundays we are successful and others we are not. Sometimes we bring in a full net and other times it is almost empty. I felt like my net was empty after preparing a personalized lesson on FHE and not having those in attendance it was intended for. However, I was blessed in the preparation and felt the spirit as I prepared. I had only one student for part of the lesson time for seminary. Again, I grew from the preparation of the lesson.
These fishermen can be seen on the beach most days pulling in their catch.
