WIND, RAIN, SNOW,MORE WIND

Spring must be starting. We have had warm days, cold days, sunshine, rain, snow, and lots of wind. We haven't experienced the spring mud yet--can't wait.

We have had fun making quilts for the elderly. It goes quickly when many hands work together. It is also very fun to visit and work with these wonderful sisters.

Attached is a good picture of our ward building.

We have been trying to find members in our ward area. Last week we found a woman with two little girls who have lived here for two years and wanted to start coming back to church. One of her daughters is anxious to be baptized. We had someone else's name for her address so we were excited to find this family.

We've been teaching some lessons to young primary-age girls preparing for baptism. We have really enjoyed it. They are so enthusiastic. Next week we have five more lessons scheduled.

Yesterday was a baptism for two young girls who received the lessons from the couple who served here in Kaibeto before we arrived. They were baptized by their dad. Lots of family members came. The photos show them with their mom and dad and their two grandmothers.

Today at church there were 107 people attending. The most we have ever had. We had a baby blessing, the two girls baptized yesterday were confirmed members of the Church, and we got a new bishopric. Bishop Etcitty and his family had been traveling from their home ward in Page for the past five years so he could serve as bishop. Our new bishop will also be coming from about an hour away. Our first counselor lives here in Kaibeto and the second counselor is Elder Payne (who lives very close--next door). Also a young woman from our ward is leaving this week to serve in the Oklahoma, Tusla Mission. It has been a wonderful day.
