Our Visit to Newfoundland
May 27- June 1, 2004
Bev and I have wanted to return to Newfoundland. It's a land of ruggedness and beauty with special people who are able to inhabit this land...people of strength and beauty as is the environment. We kept the Day of Pentecost with the Newfoundland congregation overseen by elder David Smith. We stayed with David and Blanche Smith who treated us very hospitably and took us around to the various sites. Through pictures we would like to share with you some of what we saw and experienced....
