St Lucia: Sunday

Sunday we went to church! When Trent was serving in St Lucia about 7 years ago him and his companion were the only missionaries on the island and there were only about 2 or 3 members. Now there are 10 missionaries including 2 sister missionaries, 3 branches, and over 400 members!
This is the chapel.
 
Here are some of the missionaries! It was really neat for Trent to talk to them and find out how some of the members are doing on other islands. A member he baptized in Trinidad is now a Branch President! Super cool. We also met a lady there that is now a member of the church now because of a lady that Trent met and started teaching the gospel to. It's so amazing what one person can do! 
 
 This family is amazing! They are the foundation of this small Branch in St Lucia they have been members of the church for 6 years and were baptized by Elder Heslop (a boy that is also from North Ogden that we know) They are so strong in the gospel. On they way to church they say a man walking down the road so they pulled over and asked him where he was going and he said church so they said well we will give you a ride. You can come to our church! Haha they are awesome.
This is Ricardo. Trent taught him and Ricardo used to go around with them as they would teach people. He is not currently active but it was really fun to meet him and see someone Trent spent a lot of time with on his mission.  
After church we went to Rodney Bay to watch the sunset.
