Ethan speaking on baptism, it was great!

Samuel spoke on the Holy Ghost, you would have thought he was a missionary!

When we chose to serve a mission it became obvious that we would miss important events. The top of the list were the baptisms of three of our grandchildren (Avery, Hailey, and Henry) and the birth of our sweet little Lucy last October, as well as many other treasured moments.  Then around the first of the year, Emily called saying they were coming to visit us and that Henry had something to tell us.  He then informed us that he wanted to be baptized in the Bermuda Ocean!  It was wonderful, and the Bermuda Branch were greatly supportive of our family.  We love them for that!  So we would like to share a few pictures of the event as well as Avery and Haily's special days that we missed.  Faith in serving the Lord has taught us that blessings are showered upon us when we are obedient.  That doesn't mean there are not challenges or trials, but that said we have trusted in Him that our family would be watched over, may our family know that we love them ever more by being in the mission field while these events and challenges have taken place.

The Elders Studying

I thought our Elders looked very Bermudian in this picture.  They do a lot of studying, but don't be fooled they are always on the go, from parish to parish, working very hard.  They know what they are about our Fathers work.  They do it very well .   We all greatly love the people here.

Sister Veronica had a source for shoes, we had around 5 large boxes that she brought to Church and after our meetings surprised the sisters.  They each were able to pick out shoes and the remainder are headed to the Phillipines with Sister Jay when she visits family.  It was great fun and so kind of Veronica.

Branch Non-Talent Talent Show

-

Our youth decided that it would be fun to host a "Non-talent Talent Show".  We'll we were all for that. Elder Webster and I have many talents, so sad, none that could be called culturally refined. So we were excited about the prospects of being able to share a non-talent.  Our idea ; ) "Elder Short".  Surprisingly no one here has ever seen a Mr Short presentation, let alone an Elder Short.  It was a hit, we had such fun sharing our presentation.   There was a great many talents and non-talents shared, as well as a good number of visitors some of which even participated.  It was WONDERFUL and fun.  Of course a pot luck dinner followed with good conversation and fellowshipping.
