"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.

Just a little site seeing on Barbados.

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.

To Bath or not to Bath.

We took a road trip up the east coast of Barbados and came back through the center of the island.
 
Sister Moore in front of St. Mark's church.

I guess it's not to Bath.  The beach at Bath was fouled with the Sargassum seaweed.

Here's a chicken project on the beach.  The chicken just stood there and posed to get it's picture taken.

Painted wall.  At Parris Hill, St. Joseph, Barbados.

There is even a troll.

Love the mouse.

St. Lucia Out 'N' About

We went on a trip to St. Lucia to train the local leadership on what to look for in a Humanitarian Project and submit it for consideration.  We had a little time to see some of the island.
 
Sister Moore and Elder Moore in front of the chapel.  Notice the sign on the left "Delivering Quality Services".  Yes, we really do deliver quality.

Part of the group we taught about Humanitarian Projects.  Elder Topou who was on Barbados with us is in the picture by the window.

Boats in the harbor.

Elder Moore and Sister Moore at the overlook with Pigeon Island in the background.

Elder Moore, Sister Moore, Sister Horne, Elder Horne.  Elder and Sister Horne are the Senior Couple on St. Lucia.

Looking down at Gros Islet.

Be careful when you get your ticket.  You may have to move fast.

OK, the spitter is just the machine to get the ticket for parking in the parking garage.

Celebrating the West Indies Mission.

Here in Barbados we had a celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of the West Indies Mission.  The celebration was one where people could showcase their talents.
 
Crafts.

More crafts.

Even more crafts.  The sandals in the right center were made for Sister Moore.

Ryan Carr playing the Barbados National Anthem on the violin.

There were other talents but these were the best pictures from an unskilled photographer.
