My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

Image
I met Estreniah in the library a few months ago. We got talking, about life. I was helping her with the family search for a bit. She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...

She was dizzy and sweating and ran to the bathroom to relieve herself using both toilet and garbage can. When she tried to get up, she passed out and hit her head on the side of the tub. When she came to she was having trou...

October already?!

Hi All, I was excited today to find out that the gift I made my good friend Fran actually arrived on her birthday today. I made it with Mixbooks, similar to Shutterfly publishing app. Usually, I use chatbooks.com but I wanted to do some colorful pages. It turned out well. I combed her and her children's facebook pages to find photos to add to the ones that I already had. It made up a nice book. She was thrilled as was I at her reaction. Ok so let me catch you up... This week on Monday, Sept. 30th  I prepared food, etc from 10 until 4 with help from others.  We had about 44 people for dinner, 30 ish new missionaries coming in, along with four sisters from Nauvoo (who will serve here for six months), and a new senior couple from Hawaii. Brother and Sister K, who are Japanese and very delightful. Oct 1st, Tuesday I also worked in the library and helped with food prep from 10-2. We were feeding thirteen outgoing missionaries and mission office staff. the men...
