We spent June 30 - July 7 in St. Lucia, West Indies Mission, with our dear friends Marla and D'Wayne Sherwood who are serving a mission there. We had a great time and I learned why senior couples need to go on missions from observing them. The people love them and they love the people. Hopefully we can serve like they are now in the future. Here are Steve and Elder Sherwood (D"Wayne) at the Coal Pot restaurant in St. Lucia, a Sherwood favorite. The fish was great. Steve and D'Wayne both looked svelte but still really old! (Now don't forget that I have to try to be funny so don't get crazy!)


This is the shabby little 1800 sq ft resort where we spent a few glorious days. It was beautiful and had a great view of the beach. I don't think the Garden of Eden was EVER in Missouri--please.....this island is beautiful.


I told Steve to put on a lot of sunblock but he wouldn't listen. Someday he'll learn.

This man is Claudius and the snake is hissing at this well groomed older lady. Marla kept telling me to put it around my neck but this was the best I could do. All three of us smelled, too.

A view from the top of the island. This island is one of Oprah's favorite 10 things. Maybe she should go on a mission!
