Facebook is an amazing place!

So today I was accepted into the West Indie Mission Facebook group! I am really excited to be able to see what people can tell me about the mission, how to prepare, and what to expect. Here is what I have already learned:

1.       Sister missionaries in that mission serve mostly in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, and Barbados. That may not be completely accurate, because the mission is still growing so much especially with regard to sisters, however that is what a recently returned elder said. They said that sisters don't serve in Guyana for safety reasons. Let's face it, there are a lot of places where two young woman shouldn't be walking around by themselves, so I understand that precaution. 

2.       I already knew that I could only have one suitcase no heavier than 50 pounds, but it was reinforced that I should pack light. People were also stressing that most things can be purchased once there, and that they are a good price as well. 

3.       If I forget myself and go with an open heart, then I will be able to love the people and be loved by them also. I was told that lifelong friends are sure to be made there and everyone was raving about how amazing the areas are. I feel even more blessed after hearing everyone's rave reviews.
