We have been truly blessing to have a church group here on the island. They have played a huge part in helping us adjust so well to Statia life. You may ask why there isn't a ward or branch, as I did too. It's because there are no local members here, the members who are here are here for school. So a church group it is. Our church group is made up of 24 of us (at the moment) including our family. They are our "Statia family" since we have no relatives here and we love them all.

No local members = no church building. We are considers a school religious church group club, so we are allowed to mee
t at the school in one of the class rooms for 1.5 hours each sunday. So thats how long our church is. We have a short sacrament meeting, followed by sunday school. We have an activity once a month where us ladies can get together and have fun while learning more about the gospel. Since there are so few of us. We all have callings to help make things run smoothly. At the moment I am in nursery with Claire Sala and Josh is a sunday school teacher with a few other people. I love our church group! We know everyone and we are all so close. We couldn't of done this with out our church group. Thanks guys!
