President Otto asked us to join the Young Adults for an overnight at a hotel on a small island off the coast of Guadeloupe. We were to deliver a fireside on the Law of Chastity. There are quite a few young adults, but because this was not as well advertised as it could have been only 13 came. We had a great fireside with them on the evening of our arrival. The Lord blessed us abundantly in our preparation and the young adults were wonderful participants. Really, it ended up being single adults, some older than 30 that came along.
As you can see, Marie Gallante is a little jewel in the Caribbean. The morning at the beach, I just wanted to jump into the ocean and swim! Many of the participants did!
The picture above is of the group after their early morning scripture study. As we took the picture at the palm trees, I thought, as I looked at this group...these really are elect young people who have heard the word of God and have believed and have made it the center of their lives. My love and admiration for them knows no bounds!
What a great trip and what great people! It is so fun to see pictures. I'm excited to hear the details of your talks. Early morning scripture study on the beach...that sounds heavenly!
