This is Phillip Pryce's baptism with family and some young men. He is a delightful, bright young man. He was taught missionary lessons at his Grandma's (Ina, standing next to him), who was baptized last November. Two weeks later John Young was baptized. We are so happy for him, and his member wife, Cassandra. I haven't downloaded his picture yet, but may add it later. This other picture is of the 1,000 Islands Tour we took with the seniors on the St. Lawrence River. Amazing. People own islands just big enough for a house and a little yard on a river that is bigger than the Potomac and freezes over in winter! I'll try to download a movie of a few of the islands.
We have been so very busy doing different things every day. We never could have dreamed our mission would take us down this road. We are learning things always. We have Zone Conferences every 6 weeks, District meetings weekly, President's Firesides monthly, Role Plays weekly, apartment inspections for 17 apartments every 6 weeks, Cottage Meeting monthly, Family Home Evening weekly, and at all of them we feel the fire of the Spirit as the missionaries and sometimes we share testimony and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. We get instruction on how to teach, where to teach and who to teach. We try to take time to find lost inactive members, and occasionally we are successful and invite them to Come unto Christ. What a joy when they do. And when they don't, we still feel productive in taking the Spirit into their homes. We have learned to try to make everyone we meet a little better for having seen us. The other day I made a crusty ol' Yogoslavian smile, and when he did it made our day! We wish we knew the languages of all these people.
