This is Brother Fred Agho from Nigeria. He came to church today in this beautiful native costume and we had to get a picture of him. Fred is the first counselor in the Branch Presidency.
Zoitsa's apartment after the baptism on Saturday, December 19th. Liana is on Elder Johnson's right and Zoitsa is next to her. President Todi is on Sister Johnson's left. The others are the missionaries.
Zoitsa and her daughter, Patrina. Patrina made a lot of the wonderful food they fed us.
The missionaries and Mitat, an Albanian member, in Zoitsa's apartment.
At the sea for Zoitsa's baptism. The temperature was 4 C. (about 39 degrees) Left to right, Elder Kroll, Mitat, Domna (Zoitsa's cousin who wants to be baptized as soon as she can get the Word of Wisdom down), Zoitsa's sister (who is also somewhat interested in the Church), Elder Johnson, Zoitsa, Elder Stephenson, Elder Mortensen, Elder Harris, President Todi, Elder Foerster and Patrina (Zoitsa's daughter).
Elder Johnson, Elder Mortensen and Elder Stephenson went down early Saturday morning to clean up the beach area where we have the baptisms. It is a public beach, but this area is usually fairly quiet and a little secluded.
Liana at our apartment celebrating her birthday. She is getting her application ready to send off to BYU for graduate school for fall 2010. We would love to see her be accepted, for her and for selfish reasons--so we could continue our association with her.
President Todi asked Elder Johnson one day if he needed some more paper clips. Elder Johnson said sure, so next time he saw President Todi, this is what he gave him. We thought it was pretty cute.
This is the Koutouri family at the Branch Christmas Party on the 12th of December. We wanted you to notice the art work painted on the window. Zoitsa came early for the party and painted two great Christmas pictures on the windows. The elders explained that they would have to be washed off before church the next day. She wasn't at all offended by that and did it anyway.
Elder Mortensen, who taught and baptized Zoitsa, and Zoitsa and Domna at the Branch party.
Brother Sotires Tanto playing his guitar and singing with his wife, Emmanuela at the Christmas party. Brother Tanto went to the temple in Freiberg, Germany with the Branch President in November to receive his endowment.
The missionaries after playing basketball down by the sea on P-Day, December 7th.
Our Thanksgiving feast which we observed on November the 28th.
