Upcoming departure.

Our departure is scheduled for December 11, bright and early, before the sun has risen. We are very excited to leave and can't wait to discover the island of St-Martin.

St-Martin is located in the Caribbean at 18.02 latitude and 63.07 longitude. It covers 37 square miles, with Dutch St. Maarten on the South spanning 16 square miles and French Saint Martin on the North covering 21. The island is the smallest landmass to be shared by two separate governments. 41,000 people live on St.Maarten and 36,000 on Saint Martin. It is here in the waters of the French side that we will call home for the next 3 months. We will have the pleasure of serving in a Spanish congregation.

My parents will be with us for the first 2 weeks, taking an early vacation and discovering the place at the same time as us.

  2. Salut les amis,
    Nous sommes bien content que vous avez décidé de faire un blog cette année aussi. Nous sommes conscient du travail que cela représente de nous tenir à jour, avec toutes vos activités là-bas et les mauvaises connexions internet. Mais ça vaut les efforts. Merci à l'avance. Nous vous aimons beaucoup et allons nous ennuyer de vous.
    Marie et Daniel xx
