Last Day of Manchester Convention

Wish we had pictures of the Sunday Meetings, they were wonderful.  Elder Teixeira and Elder Kerr area seventies were with us, one from Frankfurt and one from Scotland.

We sat all day listening to talks and the choir and only at the end did we realize our legs and bottoms were suffering.  

Here are a couple of the groups doing their service projects.

More Service Projects

Painting a logo on T-shirts for a school in Africa, and tying off quilts which go to a shelter.

This is one of our YSAs, Michelle Coke.  (you've got to love her name)

Some of our favorite youth from the Huddersfield Stake.  All have gotten real active in the last little while.  We love these kids.  The boy without a hat is waiting for his mission call.

Manchester Convention - one of four service projects

They made these little Nativity Sets for hospital rooms.  They turned out cute.  

The red head is a girl we've not seen much at the institute, so we were glad she went to the convention.

Here we have a picture of Jainan, Clio, and Bethany.  Dad helped Jainan with his dissertation .

Another Family Home Evening Activity

Dad looks on to make sure no one crosses the line while knocking down the water bottles.  Oh boy, we are improving when it comes to activities.

Minute to Win It

Katie Wills told me about "minute to win it".  There are many fun games.  This one they put pantyhose over their heads.  In one leg is a ball.  By getting your head swinging, you knock over eight bottles of water (unopened, of course) in under a minute.  This was our FHE activity last night.  It would be a fun one for your own FHE.

I forget every time that the first picture and posting I use will actually be the last in the series.  I need some help.  How do you keep the text and photos flowing so you don't have to go to the next post to see something that belongs together?  Anyway, this British Prom was fun to attend.  The Brits are fun people and they love their country and think it is the greatest in the world.  We had to keep reminding them (yeah right) that there is no country like America.
