District Conference

What a great conference! The place was packed! I guess everyone decided to save their money so they could all come on Sunday because it was standing room only. We did help arrange for a bus to help get our members from Punta branch there and it helped because a lot came. Carrissa branch came in the back of a truck one of the members uses for hauling garbage for their recycling business. We have pictures of that that we'll have to post sometime. Another branch came on the back of another flat deck truck of one of the members. Reminds us of some of the ways we used to get to church back in the day. The district presidency was released and President Balderama, Branch President of Carrissa Branch ( one of our branches) was called as District President.That's pretty exciting! He's a really great man! The talks were all really good and one of our recently returned members was ordained an elder so we are really happy for him. We took our guy with the wheel chair with us and he really enjoyed it and then this afternoon we went and taught him again. He wants to get baptized. His wife couldn't come to conference but she was there this afternoon and she wants to get baptized as well.They need to get married first so we also talked about wedding plans. Lily was all over that!
