One more week has flown by. We have been saddened this week with the passing of our friend Bud Kohler. We have been friends for many, many years. We have enjoyed doing so many things together over the years. We have had a good life together and have gone so many places with each other. Our oldest son, Craig, married his oldest daughter, Sue, and we share three wonderful grandchildren. I feel a real need to be home right now. We pray our Heavenly Father will give comfort to my friend Glenna and to all of the family.We have had some interesting experiences this past week. They started early Monday morning when we were getting ready to go for a walk, we could hear someone calling for help. We thought it was someone across the fence but then realized it was an American voice calling. As we went out to investigate we found it was the girl in the apartment above us. She had gone into her bathroom, locked the door and the key had broken off in the door. She has a front door and a back door with a balcony . She had both doors locked and bolted closed. No one could possibly get in either door. Dave was the rescuer so I will let him tell the rest. She came Friday night and brought us cookies, she is a medical student from Texas, and had a test at 9 am. Actually she had two tests and received a score of 95 on each test. We will send pictures. This week was also zone conference, also it was carnival week in Castries where we go to conference. The HUGE parade started Tuesday and we were told we would not be able to drive down the street after the parade started, and they were right. We left about 6:30 and arrived at the church before the parade began. Once it started the music was so loud and we were a few blocks away. To make a long story shorter we had to stay at the church all day until about 6 at evening. Dave had to go to the airport and help pick up elders and could not get back for quite some time. We had a nice meeting with President Gamiette and zone conference was good. He is a good man and will be a great president. We stayed with Elder and Sister the Collins Tuesday night and arrived home about 5:45 Wednesday evening, just in time for gospel class at our church. We were totally exhausted as were our elders. Saturday we were invited to our landlady's daughters wedding at the Catholic Church in Laborie-four miles north of Vieux Fort. It was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. but being true St Lucian it was 2: 55 p.m. when it was announced the wedding party had arrived. It was a hour plus ceremony with many things happening we didn't understand. But the fact they got married, and in a church, you pat them on the back. The reception was most elaborate, we needed a wrist band to be admitted, The food was good, the 'music' so loud it shook the ground, and the attendees all dressed so elegant. . It was quite a day and we came home once again exhausted. Hope all of you have a good week as we once again say goodbye for another few days. Love, Sister FauxYasmin is the name of the young lady we helped. Her apartment is two bedroom and is rented by the room and not as a unit. Therefore a deadbolt lock is on the bathroom door to assure privacy. As the girl she shares the apartment with is gone there was no valid reason for using the deadbolt lock other than 'that is what she always does'. The deadbolt lock reminds me of an old fashioned skeleton key type lock. When she went to unlock the door the 'teeth' of the skeleton key sheared jamming the bolt in place and locked. We provided Yasmin with a screwdriver and a hammer then with Elder Faux on the roof looking in we thought we could devise some solution. Taking the lock plate revealed nothing, because the sheared teeth jammed the deadbolt it couldn't be budged, the hinge pins had been painted over welding them in place so Martha, the landlady, said for her to knock a hole in the door so she could crawl through and she would replace the door. In Yasmin's defence, when they came to replace the door it was taken out in pieces it was in place so secure. Glad we were there to help. Elder Faux
