Elder Berends, not sure how this gets to you, if it does, but here goes. You will know that Rebekah arrived home from her mission in Peru about a month ago, well her boyfriend got home a little after her, from the South African Mission, and they are now engaged. We attended her home-coming/21st party held before Darren (Delahoy) got back but any thought of engagement was not in focus at that time. We attended a concert in which Melissa performed, beautifully, on her flute and piccolo, and there was Darren and all was clear. I heard on the grape-vine that Darcy has attended mission prep. I understand Maddi is also preparing. Emily and Mark's 3rd baby arrived on schedule and is a beautiful baby brother Bailey for Nate and Lacy. Cherie and Jordan's 3 are doing fine, Jude, Freyer and Odette. Now that Uni is out we will get hold of Paul and Shani for dinner, maybe combine that with Rebekah and Darren. Kate and Olivia ran a department at the recent Ladies (RS) Service Day. Hey you folk at home tell me about this new house/address. Did it come complete with dog and kennel, is the kennel big enough, for Mark, or Rhys or Vaughan, all three? Very interesting to hear about your companions and contacts, looking forward to and praying for those baptisms.
