We were privileged to have President Robison and his wife, Diane, Elder and Sister Bullock and their brother-in-law Brother Bacon, who has served as a mission president and temple president, attend our branch activity on Wednesday. We had at least 34 people in attendance with at least 6 of those who were investigators.
We had the usual pot luck, and as usual we ran out of everything. The most important part of the eating is the visiting that takes place among everyone attending.
Participation is high for the game that Elder Ross conducts. Everyone has a great time trying to have their team answer the questions first. The prize was peanut M & M's.
President Robison asked Elder Jarvis and Elder Barton to sing a song to get the crowd quieted down and in a more reverent mood for his message. The audience loved the duet.
President Robison closed the meeting with a bible story about Naaman, which he used to teach the group to be 7 dip "Mormons". He said he had never seen such a skinny chapel before and that we should fast as a branch for a new building to accommodate our growing numbers.President Robison will be released the end of June so this is probably his last visit to Tobago. While he was here, he interviewed our branch president, Patrick Ramikissoon and his wife, Pamela in preparation for them to attend the temple in Santo Domingo the end of May.

What a great turn out. You must make a mean chili.
It is so great that your Branch President's family will enjoy the blessing of the Temple.
Are you sad about the Mission Pres leaving?
Sounds like a great activity. We miss you guys and enjoy seeing posts of what you are doing. Jebb and Jackson STILL want to move to Tobago to live with you. They bring it up at bedtime. They were laying in bed talking about it together the other night. :)
Finish strong!!!! :) xoxoxox
