The Blind and Visually Impaired Celebrating Their Exam Scores.

Since we had a project here in Barbados to help the blind and visually impaired.  They invited us to share in their press conference announcing the results of their CXC exams.  These exams are taken to assess if the student is ready and eligible for the next level of classes.  The computers we helped them get will be used to help more people become ready to advance and get more learning and skills.

 

They invited Elder Moore to sit at the table.  Didn't tell him he would have to say anything.  Sister Moore says he did ok but Elder Moore doesn't know what he said.

The students giving their victory sign.

 

 Next is the newspaper article that ran in the Barbados Advocate.

 

 



Concorde.

Not that we're getting trunky or anything like that.  We had the chance to see the Concorde so off we went.

 

The nose.

These sure were nice comfortable leather seats.

The meal is served on china.  No we didn't get to eat it.  It was totally inedible.  Just shows how the jet setters were treated.  The rich and famous flew on the Concorde and their entourage flew on regular planes.

The trip was just too short.  But hey wasn't that the idea of traveling twice the speed of sound.

The rest of the plane.

From the back.  NO, NO, DON'T FIRE UP THE ENGINE.

 

This plane flew into Barbados on it's last flight and has been here ever since.



De javu. This and That Again.

Just some pictures we want to keep.

 

Last district meeting before transfers.  The two districts meet together so all can say their goodbyes before they are transferred to another island.  On floor: Elder Dye, Elder Witten.  Seated: Elder Platt, Elder Pollard, Elder Tulikihakau, Elder Fischer, Elder Ropati, Elder Jacobson.  Standing: Sister Conrad, Sister Riley, Sister Nelson, Sister Lometo, Sister Miaco, Sister Campbell, Sister Norris, Sister Lamb.

The statue in the middle of the Emancipation Roundabout.  The Bussa Emancipation Statue is a public sculpture of a slave rebellion leader in Barbados.

 

Wow, these badges sure are big when your getting short.  Not much time left in Barbados.
