Visiting General Authority Daniel Johnson and Sister Johnson visited the West Indies Mission, French Zone Conference. Elder and Sister Johnson taught missionaries at meetings held on the island of Guadeloupe. Mission President Reid Robison and Sister Robison also taught the missionaries and a challenge was extended to all to BAPTIZE EVERY WEEK. Elder Johnson promised if we had the FAITH and BELIEF that this was possible, it would happen. There was great excitement among those attending regarding this challenge. Branch Presidents were asked to organize Baptismal Services each week!

St. Maarten Latter-day Saint Members Visit Santo Domingo Temple
Seven members of the St. Maarten Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited the Santo Domingo Temple. During their stay, members were housed at the MTC on Temple grounds. This was a great blessing. When several days of torrential rains hit the small island country, the members were safe from harm in this sacred place.
Transfer Day
We say goodbye to Elder Catherine from France and Elder Baksh from French Guyana. Elder Catherine is going to St. Vincent and Elder Baksh is going to Guadeloupe. Elder Catherine is the last of the original 4 young men who were in St. Maarten when we arrived. Now, Elder Fillerup is going to Suriname and Elder Swain is in Guadeloupe and Elder Torres is home as we speak. We love our Elders and miss each one as they leave. And we will be welcoming Elder Arbizo and Elder Busson. And on the next transfer period, Elder Arbizo and Elder Webster will be leaving us to go home; both to Arizona. What wonderful times these are!!!
