It was a very beautiful day in Ikageng but while the rain kept people home last Sunday, the school holiday kept the numbers down today. The students all went home and other families went traveling – some for fun and some for funerals. Hopefully in a couple of weeks things will be back to normal.

This was elder Liera last Sunday for serving in the Potch branch – he got his transfer notice of Friday evening. The rest are assorted pictures from the day – most taken between meetings and before the baptism.

It was an exciting day for the branch as Joshua and Adrian Gerber were baptized. Adrian is a big 14 and Joshua is a joyful 12 and they will add greatly to the AP in the branch. After he was baptized Joshua wanted to know how soon he could help with the sacrament – I told him he would probably receive the PH next week. Elder Liera baptized Joshua with family – their father came to watch the baptism. Their sister spoke about baptism and their mother about the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

 

Adrian was baptized by elder Alvial and then we took a group picture of all present. I am hoping for a picture from elder Alvial’s camera that will include me.

Elder Alvial showed himself to be an expert on emptying the font so no one got wet. I think everyone had a wonderful and spiritual morning as we all shared the sunshine, the spirit and the fellowship that is so prevalent in the branch.
