Pictures, pictures!

This is Francis and Leticia!! :D They are from Ghana. Five years ago, this amazing ward went and knocked doors, and Francis was found and baptized because of their efforts!! Leticia just arrived a little over a month ago from Ghana (which has a miracle story of its own), and Leticia was baptized this last weekend!! She only speaks Twi (a Ghanan dialect), and so we would teach her, and her husband would translate. He also translates the Book of Mormon for her when they read (he can't read Twi, so he reads it first in English and then translates it). It has been miraculous to see her path towards conversion!! They are both excited to prepare to be married for time and for eternity in the Temple!!

This is what the first page of the Book of Mormon in Twi looks like. Can you read it? I can't either!

This picture is of the wedding of Leo and Linda, our friends who are relatives of our recent converts. They invited us to their wedding, and it was buckets of fun!! We just need everyone to learn about modesty, and then the next wedding will be even better!!!

This is the happy couple. :) Hopefully they will begin to prepare to be married in the Temple someday!! For their wedding gifts we gave them a large picture of the Madrid Temple and a large "Family Proclamation" for them to hang somewhere in their home. :)

As you can see, we decorated our apartment a little bit for the 4th of July. Jaja, it wasn´t much, but it sure was fun!

Oh, also, for the 4th of July, we made use of the Root Beer Concentrate you sent me last year, and we made Root Beer Floats for the District!! It was a blast!! We even gave out Root Beer to some other people -- everyone was curious about our special American drink!

This is a puzzle that we made as part of a lesson we planned for a Family Home Evening. On the back of every piece is a step of the Gospel. :) It was fun for the little children to take turns arranging the puzzle!
