These are the September departing missionaries. We love these missionaries.

Baptism at Cabangan Branch. Can youn find the 4 missionaries?

Some of the members of thethe San Antoinio Branch at the temple to support the Davis family. There were about 10 from the branch who rented a van to come to the temple. They left about 4:00 a.m. to get to the temple by 8:00.

Brother and Sister Davis and their daughter who was just sealed to them. (see below)

We had the privilege of witnessing the sealing of Brother and Sister Davis. Brother Davis was baptized a year ago. Sister Davis was inactive when they met. Brother Davis encouraged her to embrace her religion, and he took lessons from the missionaries. Now here they are. Awesome!!!

We had the priviledge of delivering Crispy's mission call to her. She is going to the Philippines Loaog Mission. She is way excited.
