Lynn and Sharon Angus, our upstairs neighbors for the past ten months, go home to their home and family in Vernal, Utah tomorrow! This amazing Humanitarian Services couple has served for 23 months, spent tens of thousands of dollars in donated church funds to complete and hand over hundreds of projects designed to benefit both members and non-members in the Caribbean. They have provided wheelchairs for those who can't walk, clothes, bedding and emergency supplies for people in need from Barbados to Trinidad, from St. Lucia and St. Vincent and back home to Guyana. They have organized service projects, arranged training for hospital personnel and dozens of other activities. They had just begun to develop a foods initiative designed to provide members with seeds and plants to create a garden to feed their family . . . and pens and chicks for eggs and broilers!
Val and Marsha Cook, from LaVerkin, Utah are the mission's new Humanitarian Services couple. They will not only take over the Anguses assignment, but their apartment and car as well. I worked with Marsha a little when I was at the Volunteer Center and she supervised Washington County's detention center work crew, so even before they went to the MTC, she knew who I was and I knew her name, as well. Our neighbors in southern Utah and Georgetown, Guyana are feeling very overwhelmed as they take on their duties and responsibilities here in the West Indies Mission, but we are certain they will do a wonderful work and will enjoy the people and the beautiful islands of the Caribbean in the process.

What a small world that you knew her at home and now you are serving a mission together! When Josh and I were on our honeymoon we went to the San Diego temple grounds and there was a sister missionary that Josh knew from home. Small world!
Thanks for keeping us all in the loop Sr. Sappington. You really bless us and we love you and Elder S. for all you do. You are an inspiration and it is a privilege to serve in this mission with the likes of YOU! Soeur Bennion, Guadeloupe
