Hurricane! Seeing God in the Details of our and others' lives

August 16, 2025

Our first Caribbean hurricane was an adventure, and not unlike those we experienced in Japan and Virginia and a metaphor for light shining in darkness.

Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold, I am the light which ye shall hold up. 3 Nephi 18:24

30 April to 15 July 2026 - We love Dominica "The Nature Island!"

In late April, we accepted an unexpected call to transfer to the Nature Island of Dominica—a uniquely lush mountain home where we've embraced farm work, vibrant local markets, and deep community connections. Between hosting weekly youth activities, preparing for an upcoming waterfall hike and "Faith Walk" youth conference, and serving alongside the young missionaries, our hearts are overflowing. Visiting members in their humble homes and sharing gospel messages has given us a profound new perspective on our own lives. We are forever grateful for this mission on the "Isles of the Sea" and the eternal relationships we are building along the way.

16 Jan - 29 April 2026 Visitors! Goodbye St Thomas and St John!

Our four months on St Thomas and St John flew by in a whirlwind of visiting family, cherished friends, and a surprise call asking us to transfer to Dominica, which we accepted even though it meant leaving early. We're so grateful for the selfless service, humility, and faith we witnessed there, and we carry those lessons with us into our final six months serving in Dominica!
