Barbados Zone Conference

 

 How great an opportunity to be taught by President and Sister Mehr in Zone Conference on 26 May  2015.

 

Sister Moore and Elder Moore listening with rapt attention.

What a fine looking group of missionaries.

 

A thorn among the roses.

"North to Barbados, the go North Rush is on."

We had a little get away.  Up to the north end of Barbados.  It's only 21 miles but even that distance makes for a great get away.

Dining at the restaurant.  The food was better than it looks in the picture.  We had a chicken salad.

Yah, we like the wave splash.  Well, at least from a distance.  The cliff's in this area are 12 to 20 meters high.

We really do like to see the sea when it is rough.  Wouldn't want to be on this in a boat.



"Hello Mudda Hello Fadda Here I am in Camp Grenada"

We went to Grenada to purchase the materials for the Richmond Home for the Elderly.  Sorry, no pictures of us actually working, but we really did.

 

The birds found a school of fish and went fishing.

Why is it Quarantine?  Sister Moore is sure worried about it.

The view of our hotel, the Gem Holiday Beach Resort.  The hotel is the building that looks like three buildings side by side.  We had the room on top at the right.  Great view no obstructions.

The bar on the way to the hotel.  Wonder if the drinks taste like sawdust?

Our next cruise.  Well it could be if Sister Moore has lots of seasick pills.

Sunset from our room.

This moth came in to visit in our room.  He left without causing any trouble.

Yes, we drove through this tunnel to get into St. George's.

The wooden pier we could see from our room.  Don't think we would like to have to use it.

Watch out for the Lollipop Citizens.



Up the Barbados East Coast again.

Just a little site seeing on Barbados.

 

St. John's church established in 1645. 

 

Elder and Sister Moore in the graveyard.  No, we weren't checking to see which crypt we wanted.

Surfer on the wave.



 

Checking out the Irving Wilson school for a possible project.

We went to the Irving Wilson School for the Blind here in Barbados.  This visit was to access the needs of the school and see if we could possibly do something to help the school be better able to serve the needs of the blind students.

 

Brother Rudyard Welch who is blind has a lot of good contacts which help us to find people who know what the needs are.  Here in this picture we have Brother Welch, Sister Moore, and Senator Kerry Ann Ifill.  Senator Ifill is blind and works with the disabled in Barbados.  She is the President of the Senate.  Senator Ifill attended classes at the Irving Wilson School.

The Irving Wilson School is expanding the number of students they can help.  They now have classes for autistic children also.

PEF "Perpetual Education Fund" and Self-reliance training.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages the members of the Church to get an education to be better able to provide for themselves and their families.  There are low cost loans available through PEF to assist the Church members to get an education.  The money for PEF comes through donations by other members of the Church.  The recipient of the loan can have much of the loan forgiven by meeting certain goals.  The Church also encourages the members to become self-reliant and provide for their needs.  The following pictures are of a group of people here in Barbados who were attending the introductory fireside to begin the process of becoming more self-reliant.
