A GREAT WEEK!

This was a great week for us.  The Branch put on a talent show.  Our young adults were involved in several of the numbers.  We spent some of our week helping and practicing with them.  It was well attended and a lot of fun.  The people here are more uninhibited than American members.

 This is most of the entertainers.  The people here love to take group pictures of everything.

Jatneil and Luis did a funny spoof with Elder Anderson and Cloward.  I made a movie and will try to post it.

 This is some of our young adults plus the Branch President doing the "Peanut Butter and Jelly"  Dance.

On Saturday one of our great JAS members, Jatneil, was baptized.  It was such a blessing to be here for this.  He is such a great young man.

Elder Cloward and Elder Anderson taught Jatniel and Luis and Jatniel became great friends as the Elders involved him in the teaching.

It was awesome to have a great Branch turnout at the baptism and we had a nice reception after.

I made some chocolate cake, which got squashed in the transfer from home.  They weren't sure if they wanted to eat it but it was gone in the end.  It was delicious, even squashed.

The occasion was even more special because that night Elder Anderson received a transfer back to the Madrid area.  We will miss him greatly, as will the entire Branch.  He has been here for 8 months and is such a wonderful hard working missionary.
