The couple has one little boy we call big boss. The father is a nephew to our Branch Matriarch. The man to the far left came one day just because he was interested. He says that when he looked into Duane’s (Elder Child) eyes he felt a power from his head to his toes. After that as he would study and pray and attend Church he would fill that same power. His wife is not interested (at this time). The older gentleman (fifth from the right) is the father of the first Elder Missionary to be sent from Lao. He is currently serving in Thailand. The boy next to him (fourth from the right) is his son (a brother to the Elder in Thailand). The other boy is 13 years old and I do not have a story on him.

It was a great day. The branch is now at 121 members. We had 120 as Sacrament meeting but it included 5 senior couples and 11 investigators. The Elder who is over mission statistics and his wife were visiting. He says that our Branch leads the Mission in Sacrament Meeting attendance. It averages 110%!
