Here is a little bit about our church here. We meet in an old carriage house on the property of an estate that is now ruins. There are only 2 large rooms and 3 small rooms in the church along with a kitchen. Here are the side and front view, with a view standing in front of the church looking to the Caribbean Ocean.
This is the view standing in front of the church looking towards Mt. Nevis. This is the ruins that used to be the main house on the estate. It is told that this was all built in the early 1800's and when the owner lost his love, he burned the main house in a love-sick rage.
This is the old bakery building. The couple missionaries from Utah live in the guest quarters right next to this that was built in 1811.
Our Branch is small, but the members that come are stalwart. We usually only have between 6-15 people every Sunday, but we are really enjoying have a unique church experience here, and feel that our testimonies have grown A LOT since we've started our journey here in Nevis. Dave is the Ward Clerk, and I am the chorister, pianist, ESL teacher, and Sunday School teacher. We give talks regularly, and it has been a great experience for all three of us!
