Dearest Family,
Thank you all for being our family! We miss you a lot but we feel close to you when we look at the Christmas photos.
Today at church the attendance was not as many as last weeks. We started having them write their names and that is helping to sound out the names, like Samantha, MaryAna and Natasha. The newest members of our branch, who were baptized last Sunday Pariad, & Parold twin brothers that studied all day yesterday to come have their interview to get to be ordained deacons. What sweet and loving people who are so very hungry for the gospel truth. Mom has an investigator who interprets and Dad has the Elder who conducts the meeting (his first counselor).
Last night the Young Single Adults really brighten up our living room with laughter and excitement. We sang to them a little bit of "I Am a Child of God" in Japanese. We had all of them introduce themselves and then try to play a game, but did not know what to play so at the last minute a thought come to have each one of them write a name of and animal they like and put the slips of paper in a basket and the sister who translates for us read the animal told us what the animal was in English and they had to guess who liked that animal. There were 5 members & 5 investigators. We had fruit pizza and they seemed to enjoy it. We will start institute classes on Wed. evening. This was a huge success because we were only expecting 3 but to have 10 was big.
Dad has gone out with the Elders to visit (we taught the lesson on the plan of salvation and two sister want to be baptized on the 4th of July) and I am expecting the sister who is coming for an interview. So we are keeping busy and loving it. I did call and set apart tonight a President and Vice President of the Young Single Adults in
We hope all is going well for you all and we hope to be able to do some skype/MS Live visits with you maybe later on today.
The gospel is true and Christ atoned for our sins and pains.
Love Always
Dad & Mom
