There are times when an airline will surprise us. In our outward journey to St. Lucia on 11 January 2025 we left Toronto a little late but arrived 30 minutes early!

We quickly settled into the routine of daily life in St. Lucia, contacting members of the Ecclesia and friends within a day or two of our arrival. One of the advantages of having visiting missionaries is that the Memorial Service can be conducted in person rather than the members attending Kitchener-Waterloo Ecclesia via Zoom. continue reading
