DECEMBER 26- JANUARY 1 Of A New Year 2022!

We are detectives!  We have a ‘prehistoric’ ward list we are using to try and find and invite returning members.  It is challenging.  We call phone numbers which are incorrect, drive to addresses that either don’t exist or the member hasn’t lived there for years.  We get up the next day and repeat the process.  We call their ministers for any information, invite them to be friends with us on Facebook, use Facebook messenger, which is the main source of communication that most people seem to use here.  Little by little we are finding some…and it makes us so happy.  Some aren’t interested in returning, others come for a week and drop off, a few may come and stay.  We will just keep visiting and inviting! Mike has created some incredible google sheets to help us tract our efforts and to help update the ward roster.  He also created a birthday list.  We bought birthday cards, cases of MARS candy bars, and deliver to all our ward members we can find, including children.  

We enjoyed a nice meal at Alec and Caroline Sansome’s home.  Alec is blind and yet he enjoys outdoors kayaking, sailing.  He is inspiring.  The photos below show their home built in the 1600s and modernized in the 1800s! Such gorgeous views right from their doorstep!
