Finally Connected
We got our internet connected. Here are the stats:
Land line 301-277-6420
Cell 480 818 0594
6011 Emerson St #509
Bladensburg MD 20710
We have been assigned to 2 wards and help our several sets of Elders. French speaking, ASL, etc.
We are helping with a family from Nepal, a man from Iraq, girls from Cameroon, Liberia and Ivory Coast. WE have been assign to a French-speaking West African Branch and I do all the Primary. The first day we had a baptism and they had a dinner afterwards and we had fish heads and sudsa. (Well as in the story of Johan, with the Lord you can run but you cannot hide). The Mission President and his wife took us to dinner and they are such lovely people. President and Vicky Matsumori (she is so pretty). We have taken several investigators to the temple visitor's center and set thru several films in French. Our Elders are from Paris, French Polynesia (Bora Bora), Sudan, Taiwan, Japan, etc. We are definitely having trouble finding our way in the huge city. Cody talked us into getting a GPS and we use it as our Liahona. We are on the 5th floor of an apt building and the trees out our patio window go even further up. It's like living in the tree tops. The senior couples go on a site seeing trip every month so we are excited that in Feb we will go to Gettiesburg PA.

Here she is! Keep in mind that this was the next morning, and Cody brought the kids, and hair combing was not top priority. They are still cuties though! :)

Setting Apart & Family Get Together
January 2, 2011. The family got together at our house for the traditional pot luck with lots of good food. Wow! we have some good cooks in our family. After we went to the Stake Ctr and President Hayman set us apart as missionaries in the Washington DC North Mission. We head out tomorrow early with as much stuff as we can cram into our car. Because of snowy weather we are headed east on I10 with a stop off at Tahna's to see the newest family member little Abbigale Grace who was born on New Years Eve. President Hayman gave us a great blessing promising health and gifts necessary to do good. After, we bore our testamonies telling how much the Gospel means to us. Wish us good weather and we will miss you. MOM
