Baptism in the sea

         Feb.18 we were thrilled to have a baptism.  Anna was baptized in a calm little cove called Port Soif on the north side of the island.   Sweet warm sunshine made the day even more wonderful.
              She was baptized by Elder Hardy.  He and E.Albacite began teaching her in December.

                               
                                         Several branch members were able to attend.

         In general, February weather was cold and rainy; that same weekend on Sunday night a tight                               fog settled in which interfered with ferries and flights for several days.
                     This picture was taken Monday morning looking out our bedroom window,                                                                      overlooking the glass conservatory.

In spite of cool weather, flowers are starting to bloom.  

Daffodils are blooming everywhere ... in yards, in fields, and on dirt mounds by the roads.

The Elders brought us a pretty bouquet to tell us thanks for what we do to help them :)

Feb. 21 Elder Hardy was transferred to Plymouth.   It took 3 trips to the airport that Tuesday, before he was finally on his way... as his flight kept being cancelled or delayed due to the fog.

So there were several goodbyes throughout the day :)

His replacement arrived in the evening when the fog had thinned out more.

Elder Sullivan is from St.George, Utah and has been out 20 months. 

He has a calm gentle personality, and is a great Elder.
