I love Sundays here they are very busy and we seem to always feel so welcomes here. I serve in the nursery they have a very different idea of what a three year old should be doing that we do in the states. THey expect them to sit in chairs for two hours and just listen. It has been interesting as I have come in and let them play and sing and move around. Last week I made homemade play dough and brought it. The children about 9 just sat and looked t it. I had to teach them what to do with it. Once they understood what it was they played with it for 45 minutes. Cariel is the ward pianist and plays for everything. She does such a nice job. We had a baptism last week and right before the baptism started they asked if I would give a talk about baptism it reminds me of mission times. The people here have a strong love of the Savior. On Tuesday we had about 10 men ages 21-30 in our home to watch the Testaments and it was powerful to see all of them moved to tears as the movie ended.
Home teaching here has struggled and they are finally trying to get it going. Tim has worked very hard to have this happen. We had our first visit last week and one of the men had only been a member a month. It was sweet has he gave us a scripture.
