Today the older kids joined with Amy Rast and her cute daughter, Lena and Carlin Keller and her cute daughter, Tanya to do Ukrainian Baptisms in the Bountiful temple. Also joining us was Julia Strater (I am probably slaughtering these name spellings...Sorry) It was a cool experience to see Tyler speaking Russian again as he baptized them. Last week we also went to Mt. Timpanogos and did some names with the Garretts and Margie Jorgensen and her son Chance. So we have had a fun time trying to baptize more people than our son Bryan in Ukraine. He is having a great time teaching and guarding the temple during the open house in Kiev. We are truly blessed to have the blessings of the temples in our day!!
Tonight the boys had their first missionary discussion. They loved it and had some great answers to the questions. The Elder who taught them was Elder Franscisco from Hawaii. He is a cute elder that Tyler has gone to teach with a few times. Tyler translated tonight and they set a tentative baptism date of Sept 4. We were delighted to learn that this same elder also taught Julia Strater while he served in Bountiful. Isn't it a small world? I will post some pictures from today.

If you do baptisms again (Russian/Ukrainian names), please let me know. I'd like my boys to get the experience. They were at scout camp the whole week the names were being done at Jordan River, and I didn't realize it was still going on at Bountiful. I'm following your blog. It sounds like things are going well. Alex gave his first talk in church last week. All the scouts were reporting on scout camp. He did well.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! And what a great opportunity for your family to do Ukraine names. So wish it wasn't the week Alex was at scout camp. Oh well.
