Saturday morning we attended the baptisms of four people. One was a Muslim woman who experienced a faith changing spiritual experience.

We saw these three children shoveling the snow when we arrived at the chapel for the baptisms.

The second Cottage Meeting for Mandarin-speaking members and investigators was held Saturday evening at the home of Brother and Sister Hume. Brother Hume was a Mandarin-speaking missionary in Australia; his wife is from Taiwan. There were 26 in attendance, including five currently serving Mandarin-speaking missionaries. Four of the five missionaries are from Taiwan, the fifth missionary is from Mendon, UT.

Brother Hume is in the center of the photo with his hands up.

Elder Nethercott on the right is from Mendon and stands 6'6".

Brother Hume involved us in a fun activity involving smart phones and Kahoots. A Kahoot is a collection of questions on specific topics. Created by teachers, students, business-people and social users, they are asked in real-time, to an unlimited number of “players”, creating a social, fun and game-like learning environment. Players answer questions displayed at the front of the room on their personal device, motivated to answer correctly and score the most points. The faster someone answers a question correctly, the more points they get. The top 5 highest points scorers are displayed on the leader board at the front in-between each question, and the ultimate winner is shown at the end. Results, including who answered what for each question, can be downloaded afterwards.


We commemorated Easter Sunday by attending one of the YSA Wards in Edmonton. On the way home we saw two snow bunnies.
