Brother and Sister Hamblin, So good to keep up with you and feel the spirit and joy of your serving in Tonga. Such a beautiful place. Have you heard 12 new families moved to Juneau 2nd this past few months! The new Stake center has 2 by 4 walls. "Ïf we build it (new building) they (new members) will come?"It still rains here. I am getting out my sunshine lamp today. Take care, Donna Leigh
ReplyDeleteI had heard that there were lots of new families moving into the ward. That is great. And I also heard that Nathan coined a new phrase, which we like very much :) It's so true. The Lord is anxious for the church to grow in Juneau. And it sounds like everyone there is doing his/her part.
