Happy Independence Day
to our Bahamian brothers and sisters
July 10
The Bahamas became an independent nation on July 10, 1973. They are still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Read about Bahamian history here.
The country and people will always be dear to us. We were missionaries for Christ and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1996-97.
These wonderful women are from Haiti, Philippines, Jamaica, United States & Bahamas - September 1996
Every Saturday morning members of the congregation gathered at the meetinghouse to clean the building and grounds in preparation for Sunday services. Joe & Adolfo Rabasto man the mops. Often someone would climb a tree and cut down coconuts for snacks.
Serving as full time missionaries for the Lord Jesus Christ changed us and our lives.
The Bahamas and its wonderful people also changed us - and gave us a lifetime of stories to share.
July 10 - Happy Independence Day to our Bahamian brothers and sisters
