Alice and Henry Tweed are fondly remembered for their self-sacrificing spirit and zeal

In July 1949, Henry and Alice Tweed, Canadians of the 12th class of Gilead, went to Aruba, where they were to play a significant role in the teaching of the pure language. Henry was a tall, spare figure and was known for his kind and gentle disposition; Alice, for her sharp wit and unflagging energy in the service. They were the only missionaries who lived and worked in all three islands and are fondly remembered decades later for their self-sacrificing spirit and zeal.

Later, Gabriel came into contact with the Tweeds, who were studying the Bible with his father-in-law. Since the study book was in Spanish, Gabriel translated for him.
