So another really good week has passed with a little snow on Thanksgiving morning, a little turkey in cultrual hall with some of the Warsaw servants, and little, (very little) time to catch our breath. But a wonderful baptism held for Eustace Obi by Elder Berry from Rexburg and who has only been out about a month. Sister Spear, (who is standing with her companion, sister Marshall below) spoke at the baptism and related a story she recently learned about of her great grandfather back in the early 1800's about his baptism. Apparently he had been friendly toward but not really interested in the Church or any religion for that matter. He happened to accept an invit
ation to attend a local meeting by the Elders which he did and heard the Bishop, (Bristle England) prophesied the content of which deeply touched his heart. After the meeting the Bishop saw her G. grandfather outside on the sidewalk and asked him how he felt about the meeting when he told the Bishop that it touched his soul from head to foot and said he wanted to be baptised. The Bishop asked him when and he said "right now!" Some clothes were found and he was taken into the water of baptism. Afterward the Bishop told him that his talk had been directed for him and him alone. This evetn started the Church on Sister Spear's mothers line. Other pictures are of President Nielson, (a little blurry) in the Nission office, a photo of the Family home evening group playing "straw ball" which is an atempt to blow the ping pong ball off the table using only a straw. Also, our group of young and older singles at the Institute class, held every thursday evening. In our office with a picture of sisters Allen, Lefevre, and elders Darowski, Torn, (Germany), Davis, Crittenden, and Torke posing with a home made snowman. The office elders, Darowske and Torke and Jean and I,
