Quest Kids Today

Dear Vashon Kids,
Here we are still in the middle of the Indian Ocean on our little island of Mauritius with 1.2 million Hindus, Muslims and a few other mixed race - oh and a million and 1/2 dogs! We landed here a year ago last Monday so this will be our second Thanksgiving and Christmas away from home.
We are enjoying our mission here - I (sister Black)am teaching music at the Chopin Conservatory of Music and keyboard lessons at the church. Brother Black teaches English lessons at the church, is taxi for Sister Black, young missionaries, church visitors to the island, President & Sister Gaya when they visit from Madagascar and is branch clerk to an inexperienced but very wonderful Branch President who needs lots of 'shadow leadership'. We are not allowed to wear badges or teach but do what we can to move the work along. We feed the missionaries breakfast every Thursday and some times in between, invite 'less actives' and others for dinners and are seeing some success in that area. This is a beautiful island and we are thankful to have the health, strength and energy to serve the Lord full time here.
We will be going home in April and would love to see any and all of you who happen to be in the area or coming by. We have happy memories of our days in Vashon. We feel sad that there are no more "questees" there to enjoy that beautiful place and have special experiences. Thanks Ashley for doing such a great job keeping us all in touch with each other.
Our love and best wishes to all of you. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Love, Elder and Sister Black
