Sweet moments...

I wanted to show a few of the sweet and rewarding moments we have had lately...


During  a lesson I gave the Gospel Art book to these girls to look at.
They carefully turned every page and the girl holding the book pointed out
scenes with Jesus in them to everyone else.  It was very tender.



Today we took glasses to Hortensia, who really has eye problems.
My husband said he would give them to her if she promised to read the scriptures, so
this is her first attempt which was successful.  Her husband, Funell, of course, said he
needed some too.  So they were reading outside together.  Thanks to all who have
sent the glasses; they are being put to good use.



Past of the gang always outside at Amezides.  Toby asked them what they
pictured God to look like.  The drawing began with lots of suggestions from the crowd.



Imagine how much we laughed when we saw the result.  The drawing somehow
resembles Elder Osborn on a bad hair day.  Amezide and his wife laughed and
laughed along with us.

This was our first young adult activity this week.  We played two games and had
a little lesson on the "For Strength of Youth" booklet and ate popcorn.  Elder McCullough,
ever the competitor, won the first round of the game.  He let a member win the next time.



I love this picture of Aissa practicing leading the music for
church.  This is her very first calling in the church and she is slowly
getting the hang of it.  I love her outfit during this hymn practice.



The last sweet moment is Edma's 18th birthday.  She had hinted to me that she wanted
me to bake her cookies.  I teased her and said I didn't want to do that much work.  So
she was surprised by her brownies and the english/port. dictionary we got her
for her birthday.  We loved celebrating and surprising her.
