I'm home from my week to the ABC Islands. I have tons of pictures but couldn't fit them all on the blog. Here are just some highlights. There are a lot of post, so just keep reading until you come to an old post. I went on this trip with a friend who translates with me for the church. Her name is Ramonita. She was born in Aruba, grew up in Curacao, and worked a while in Bonaire before she moved to Utah with her daughter 18 years ago. She wanted to do her family history but had to go to the island to talk with very old Aunts, Uncles, and cousins because most of the records were kept orally. I went to help her write it all down. We also went to find new, fresh missionaries to help with translation. And, finally, we went to have a blast and that we did.
This was an amazing experience. It was so great to go and see the progress of the church and member there and to know that I was a small part in it. It was an Alma experience. I suggest all missionaries to go back someday to their own missions.
I was super blessed with this trip. I hope that I did what I was suppose to do. I think I did. I missed my family terribly, but I was thankful for the opportunity to help with family history and to see the people I helped to teach. The Gospel is a wonderful thing. The Lord truly has is eye on the isle of the sea.
Enjoy the trip through the blog.
