Gizzy Friends and Faces:)

 We had family Home Evening with some of our "new members" on Monday night.  We watched "The Testaments".  The kids loved FHE...especially the treats! All the kids laid on a mattress on the floor, and Lonne and I sat on the couch and FROZE! Ha! It is sooooo cold, and not many people have heat in their houses! Our feet were like ice cubes by the end of the night! :)

We had three boys (our investigators) ask us to come watch them play Rugby on Saturday.
It felt so good to be at a game again!! But it wasn't too much fun in the rain in a 
dress,suit & tie! Ha !It was rainy and cold, but we tuffed it out!! 
Above is Mahe and his girls and the Rugby star, Nico!

Nico and his mom, Kathryn. Nico and Kath will be getting baptized really soon!
Can't wait for that day! :)

 Our second game was even better....Kezchon plays in the bigger leagues.
He is the one with the helmet on.  He is a great player and was so excited to see us at his game!
He left the game and came over to the sideline to shake our hands.  It was worth standing 
out in the rain and cold just to see the smile on his face when he spotted us at his game!
Kezchon will be getting baptized soon.  He is a GREAT kid! We just love him!

We didn't get a picture of our third game....Rico's Rugby game. :(
We've got Whai's soccer game on Saturday.  "Our" boys are excited that we love sports! 
We're glad we get to go support them! We might look a little odd on the side lines in our church clothes, but it makes people notice us! That's a good thing when you're a missionary!
Rugby is really fun to watch, but probably a good thing Mitch didn't play it when he was a kid...
I think I would have been the crazy screaming mother in the stands! Ha! It gets pretty wild!

Baptisms
 We had four baptisms on Saturday!
Kaana and Georgia Wanoa were first...
Lonne baptized little Georgia.  
She was so excited to have "Elder G" baptize her!
 Celia and Olea
Celia was baptized on Saturday, also.
BJ was suppose to get baptized in two weeks, but when she found out there was already going to be a baptism at the chapel, she asked if she could move her day up! 
It was a great day!!

Me, Julianna, Tran, and Silina 
Julianna Ribero just certified to teach Zumba, so we went to her first class to support her!
It was alot of fun...it felt so GOOD to do Zumba again! I miss it so much!
