We were invited to the area presidency's office and had a wonderful visit with Elder Anderson (left) and Elder Vinas (center) and Elder Coleman (right). Elder Vinas is the area president. Elders Coleman and Anderson are from the quorum of the seventy. They are so kind and loving. Elder Coleman was sharing stories of the growth and strength of the church in the Caribbean area. The Dominican Republic supplies the vast majority of the missionaries that serve in the Caribbean area. There are 11 stakes in Santo Domingo alone and many more throughout the Dominican Republic. Haiti has to supply it's own missionaries due to the government's ban on any Americans. We asked about Cuba and he stated we have one branch of Cubans there and another military branch in Cuba. The government has not opened up to recognize the church there yet but I am confident that it will come soon.
