Continuing With Our Branch

Continuing On With Our Branch

Bro. and Sis. Fairall are an awesome help to the branch.  George is our High Priest group leader and Besty works in the library, Young Women, program creator, decorations, and lots more.  They are a big help to the missionaries and to us.  She is the one that loaned us the Christmas tree and also one to each of the pair of elders.

This is the Gottstiens.  Jeremy is our elder's quorum Pres. and Melissa is our nursery leader.  That is their official calling but they do a lot more like post our branch site and help the elders teach.  For business, he works at a gas station called Turkey Hill, it is very much like Maverick only twice the size.

Sis. Watson and Bro. Bhola are married.  She is a hair dresser and he....

They should soon start the temple prep class which I will be teaching.  I hope she will understand that she should wear a dress or skirt when she goes.

The Merritt's recently moved here from Wyoming.  Amber is the Primary Pres.and Tony helps where ever he is asked which is a lot.  He helps Ross with home repairs for the members, etc. Their four kids make up half the Primary.

This is our great leader, Pres. Malano and his wife.  They live over an hour away and are very dedicated to building our little branch.  He doesn't normally look like a pirate, he just had eye surgery.   Pres. Malano teaches Spanish at two different colleges.  They are an awesome couple.  Sis. Malano is our Gospel Doctrine teacher and also is in Primary.  She bakes the sacrament bread along with cakes and/or cookies and/or treats of every kind for after church each Sunday

This is Zane and Sandy Bachert .  Zane was baptized about a month before we got here and just received the Priesthood. They just got married in Jan.  They are both in the branch and looking to be sealed in the temple early fall.  Great couple, they let us crash their reception.  We should have remembered that weddings are very different back here, it is by a private invite only.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF FOR A NEW YEAR!!!

Lets start with WHO we work with.  Our main elders are: Leavitt, Barker, Parker & Newbold
This was their Christmas Card taken on our kitchen floor.  So adorable.

     

Poor Elder Leavitt had a flu shot and was sooo sick. 

                                                 

                    Elder Newbold is like the EverReady battery, just go, go. go no matter what.

A member donated brand new shoes and clothes for the elders.  They were in heaven trying them on since they had holes in the bottom of theirs.  They shared with the rest of the district.  

Elder White is our AP but also a relative.  He is Judith Roundy's grandson.

Great missionary and leader.  Had some health problems and lost over 100 lbs while out here.

January 09 2014 

Today was a special day it being my Mother’s birthday. It was also the day that I returned home from my mission exactly 50 years ago!!  

I thought that I would put the picture of my mission car 50 years ago that I drove home all alone with absolutely no heater, defroster or radio!!  Thank goodness that I had a warm coat!!      

                                

What a blessing it was to serve 50 years ago and now to be here with my sweet heart Tamzon on another mission. The Church is true and Life is great.
