On Sunday we had an opportunity to talk to Soeur Holt as it was Mother’s Day here in the UK. It was great to see her smiling face It was a slightly different Skype as we also spoke with Soeur T. It was amazing to see them together and the obvious friendship they have- they…
Oh! We’re going to Barbados!
Last month Soeurs Holt and T attended Mission leadership Council via Skype. This week they were able to attend in person in Barbados.

Picnics, a funeral, goodbyes…and hellos!
Last year while in Abymes Soeur Holt used to visit an older lady called Soeur Naffer each week. She was suffering with cancer and this week we received the news that Soeur Naffer from Abymes passed away; not sure if you remember her; I loved her so much, I cried. This was such sad news…
Smoothies and exchanges
The weeks in Guadeloupe seem to have a different emphasis as Sister missionaries from around the mission come for exchanges. This week the Sisters from Guyane came and spent a couple of days.

Those who teach and serve often learn the most!

Zone conferences meant a movement of post that had arrived in the meantime in Guyane, I received my Christmas Eve package [the package was to be opened on Christmas Eve],…
A bright red Ferrari
As Soeur Holt settles into a new area we struggle to remember all the different people she refers to in her emails. We have to constantly refer back to earlier posts to remind ourselves who everyone is. So with that in mind we will start with an update on three of the people that Soeurs…
Déjà vu
Soeur Holt said goodbye to French Guiana and returned to Guadeloupe this week. So here we are again sat at the computers in Baie Mahault, the entire week seems to be haunted by a feeling of déjà vu, highlighted by the fact that yesterday evening we contacted a Jehovah’s Witness lady who remembered me from…
