Blessings





We are so blessed to be serving a mission in Tobago. The people here are friendly, loving and kind. They have deep spiritual roots and feel the spirit easily, and have visions, even those not living a very good life. Much of the island seems to be Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) with some Spiritual Baptist thrown in and we can’t forget the Rastafarians. The SDA have churches, hospitals and schools throughout the island. Many believe our message is true, but aren’t committed to change for the long haul.


We have another couple; the Leishman’s (the lady in red) coming to Tobago. With the formation of the Port of Spain, Trinidad Stake, several couples are moving to different locations. The Leishman’s have been robbed twice and been in three automobile accidents (unhurt). They are concerned that several people have been killed in their neighborhood. They should be a valuable addition to our branch and the missionary efforts in our area.


We have found that the Lord has protected us wherever we go. We have been the recipient of many tender mercies on the highway, especially while we were in Trinidad. The other day, dad walked in front of a big truck, but because he listened to my warning, he missed getting creamed.


We are so grateful for the support of our children at home. We feel their prayers in our behalf. They are always in our prayers as well. The gospel is true and it is rolling forth. Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer. We are on His errand.
