Sister Riches and Sister Tamafolau Baptism a First and a Last






These cute missionaries had a most wonderful baptism.  This cute girl Ally is 11 years old and wanted to be baptized even though she does not have a lot of family members who are members.  We decided to go and support and it was such a spiritual experience.  Ally made cards for everyone who came to her baptism and she bore a sweet testimony after her baptism.  It was all so heart warming.  The other fun thing was that it was the first baptism for our Sister T and it was a last baptism for our Sister Riches who is going home at the end of the transfer.  So fun!

It was so crazy! In the mean time Amanda and I had planned a trip to Seattle to visit Grandma Martenson and celebrate her 88th birthday!  I wanted Amanda to be able to see Grandma before she ...

When they asked if we all wanted to be in the same room we replied sure..it would be more fun that way. We were pumped! The big day arrives and we show up at the appointed hour....little did we know. We each had our own personal body wrapper who escorted us into one big room with four beds and said, "Okay, take off your clothes!" We looked at each other, looked at them and said, "Ummmm, we are not that kind of friends." Hailey didn't mind as she was the only one with regular unmentionables. The rest of us had to don the "paper underwear" that they keep for just such occasions....oh my, it was like wearing a paper thong! We begged for robes...an essential part of any spa experience I have ever had...and were brought some towels ...
