Elder Clive and Sister Arlene Henderson, newly arrived from the Provo MTC, told us they were not so much called “out of the blue” as “out of the family” where they have enjoyed hearing the success stories of the West Indies Mission. When the couple decided to put in their papers, her first cousins - former President Reid and Sister Diane Robison - told them there was nowhere else on earth they should serve.The Henderson’s are the 18th and newest missionary couple currently serving in the West Indies Mission. Parents of six and grandparents of 11, both are former educators. She taught 2nd grade for more than 23 years. He taught high school math and science for 13 years, then established a successful cleaning and restoration business in his hometown. Together these residents of Idaho Falls, Idaho will spend the next 17 ½ months serving the saints on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, where they will provide shadow leadership, fellowship to reactivate and strengthen new members, organize at least one annual temple trip and 1-2 humanitarian service projects on the island while also acting as an extension of the mission office and, as all other senior missionaries before them, performing “other duties as assigned.”
