Sylacauga Baptism and a Visit to the Quarry

Image
 Elder and Sister Barfuss brought treats for after the baptism. Julie gave a wonderful talk on baptism and her husband, Coy came, as well as Elder Barfuss speaking on the gift of the Holy Ghost.  It was a really special day for C., our Elders and everyone in the branch.  A special quilt made for Grandma Henderson-branch grandma. We plan to give her for Christmas  The beautiful white Sylacauga marble is the finest in the world and is on the Washington DC Temple   Missionary Miracles from Zone Conference--One of our Emmett, ID Elders ran a 5 K with his companion in their white shirts and ties!! and Won it!!  They spoke with a man at their apartment complex doing Yoga every morning and even learned a few poses to help inner peace.  They have been talking and learning from each other and the man continues to ask and receive answers to his questions!! They hope he will be open to taking the discussions in a little while.

President Muck's Confederate Senior Outing

     President Muck went to a great deal of work arranging for all the Senior missionaries to visit a Confederate cemetery, two museums and a historical iron mining site. It was rained out and rescheduled.  We all enjoyed Subway sandwich meals, catered by President Muck and delivered by the Elders. Overall we had a wonderful day together, even though we loved our air-conditioned van rides!!
