BAPTISMS AND SYDNEY TEMPLE








The highlight of the week was the baptism of Bob Cochrane on March 22. The Cochrane's have a great family. We have been teaching Belinda Cochrane New Member Lessons the past couple of months and Bob has attended the last three lessons. Elders Wellard, Orton, and Glazier taught Bob the Missionary Lessons. Glenn was honored to confer upon Bob the Aaronic Priesthood on Easter Sunday.

On February 15th Susie (Akuel Abdelrahman Myaing Akol) was baptized. Sister Palatua and Sister Scanlan taught Susie. We helped with one of her last lessons before baptism.

On February 16th Jason Knight was baptized. Sister Tuttle and Sister Batchimeg taught Jason. We were also present for one of Jason's last lessons. Sister Batchimeg is from Mongolia and is doing a great job learning English.

On March 5th our dear friend Anna Lee from the Leura Ward went to the Sydney Temple for the first time. Many of the members of the Leura Ward attended with us. Elder Orton and Elder Brennan who had served in the Leura Ward also attended. We had a great picnic on the Temple lawn after the temple session.
