Relief Society Birthday Party

Today was the Relief Society Birthday Luncheon.  Our Relief Society Presidency did an AWESOME job putting this all together.  There were several different tables with a host for each table who put together the place settings and table decorations.  Each table had its own unique flavor and design.  Angie Roos was the guest speaker and spoke about the importance of the temple and temple covenants.  We enjoyed her presentation!  Sister Mary Richmond put together a delicious meal of ham roast, funeral potatoes, salads, specialty drinks and desserts.  She also gave a presentation on the many symbols that adorn our temples throughout the world.  She made beautiful temple bundles for each sister as a special gift.  Our Relief Society President, Melissa Julian, took photographs (which I will post later when I get some copies from her).  Here are a few pictures that I took.  A big "thank you" goes out to the many hours of work that our Relief Society sisters put into this lovely event!

Baptism of Gavin Julien

Tonight was the baptism of Gavin Julien (son of Melissa and Nephi Julien) in Mesquite.  We were excited for the opportunity to be able to go and see him baptized.  Congratulations, Gavin!
