January....

Last week we had a fun activity at the Centre for Young Adults. It was Back to School Quiz Night! Everyone was supposed to wear their school uniforms. The girls did a great job and most of them dressed up.....the boys, that was a different story! One did wear a tie........It was fun to hear everyone talk about their school days and their adventures in uniforms!
Before the quiz everyone ate their sack lunch....sandwiches with the choice of tuna and sweet corn, chicken tikka, egg and onion or ham and cheese. Apples, oranges, bananas, a bag of crisps, juice, and lots of sweeties. (some were pretty interesting, like the little fried egg jellies!) Of course there was a Cadbury Fredo the frog!

Everyone enjoyed the quiz. There were three teams. Two teams tied and to Elder Holt's dismay, his team came in third......


Jordan and David announced their engagement this week. We are so happy for them! They are a great couple!!Here we are in front of our new flat. No garden, just a car-park!
The McDowell's stayed with us one night on their way to Scotland. We sure enjoyed having them here and hate to see them go across the Irish Sea.....but it does give us a place to stay when we head to Scotland in March for the YSA Convention!
We have become good friends since our days in the MTC. We feel blessed to know such great people.
Saturday was a special day as we were able to attend Jon's baptism. What a wonderful thing to see the Gospel change lives and bring people so much joy! It's great to be able to share this message with so many people.

I love YSA's! They are such a fun group to be around. I'm feeling a bit old and sometimes wish I had the enthusiasm and crazy sense of fun I did about half a lifetime ago. I'm certain you laugh a lot!
