Photos of our Cluster! We had refreshments after church last week. We brought rice krispie treats because they loved them the last time we brought them, and the relief society president brought a yummy fruit juice. This gives us a little time to visit and enjoy each other's company. There were 36 in attendance this past Sunday! We know that one day they will become a branch.

We love the members of the cluster. They have such a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each Testimony meeting is filled with humble, sincere, and powerful expressions of love for Heavenly Father and the Savior, for the Book of Mormon (which they LOVE), for the Holy Ghost, Prayer, Joseph Smith, and a living prophet President Thomas S. Monson.

We are so far away from home, but we feel such love from our dear family and friends, through Skype, email and written messages of support and love. We are feeling the effects of many prayers.

We have found when serving a mission - that no matter where you are in the world, days are filled with rewarding tasks and events. You are blessed with technology to stay connected to family and friends, and as added benefit, there are new friends you come to know and love, and that love come right back.

Life actively lived in the Gospel is the most rewarding and has the greatest eternal blessings!
