Sister Jaipaul (short one) and Sister Mentore from Guyana began serving in Tobago on the 9th of March. They have the distinction of being the 1st sister missionaries to serve on the island of Tobago. They served in Trinidad for a while before coming here and were the 1st sister missionaries to serve there, too. (Except for two senior sister missionaries.)
Another fun event of the last week was a surprise visit from one of our Trinidad elders, Elder Kyle Thomas, and his parents. His parents came to pick him up from his two year mission in the West Indies. We had just one day with them but were able to take them to see some of the sites on our lovely, but dry right now, island.
We also had a visit from President Claude Gamiette, West Indies Mission President, and his wife and five children. He came over to Tobago to preside at our Tobago Branch Conference and to do some training. He brought his family with him to enjoy a day of relaxation at one of our Caribbean beaches. They also were able to stay and enjoy Sunday dinner with us and the elders.
On March 3rd, we said 'good-bye' to Elder Linton, who served with us for 3 transfers (4 months). He's the one in the suit. Elder Jensen, the tall one in the middle, was his companion for 2 of those transfers. Elder Gaddy is now Elder Jensen's new companion.
