Branch Baptism

Today we had the wonderful opportunity of attending the baptism of two children from our branch:  Michael Pendle and Sherlani Rains.  There was a wonderful spirit there and I am sure that all who came left feeling uplifted.  Congratulations, Michael and Sherlani and welcome to our branch!

 

 

New Branch Presidency!!

Today we got a new Branch Presidency!  The former Presidency (President: Rick Jensen, First Counselor:  Ronald Slobe, Second Counselor: Grant Pemberton) was released and the new Presidency was called (President: Steve Caplin, First Counselor: Grant Pemberton, Second Counselor:  Ryan Layton).  We express our gratitude for our former Branch Presidency and all of the diligent service they have rendered and show our support to our new Branch Presidency.  We know that they will do a wonderful job!  

Christmas Party

We had a wonderful Christmas party today!  Thank you to Bryce and Eileen Tadd for all your help in putting it together!  We enjoyed turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, salad, and desserts!  Some of the branch members shared Christmas traditions and stories.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this party a success!

Marriage Conference

President Jensen headed up a marriage conference at the Dixie State College cabin in Pine Valley.  We had about ten couples and had a great time!   Our presenters were Brother and Sister Coombs and they were wonderful!  We were so grateful that they would sacrifice their time in order to share with us! 

Friday night Brother Christensen prepared dutch oven chicken and cobbler.  After the presentation everyone wrote goals and then we played some fun games.  The cabin is really big and we each had our room with a queen bed. 

Saturday we had a wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs and pancakes and then were taught again by Brother and Sister Coombs and then separated as couples to write out "I love you because..." and "I felt the most loved when..."   After everything was cleaned up we headed to a local park for lunch and then took a tour of the pine valley chapel.  We got so much wonderful feedback on the conference and several suggested that we should make it an annual tradition!
