Last Saturday, after our graduation services, we rode the bus 90 minutes and attended a baptism in Solnichney Branch.  Our senior missionary friend Elder Stevens got to perform the baptism of Svetlana.  She has been attending church for months and just got her husband's okay to be baptised.  In the interests of family unity we ask that both partners in a marriage agree to that ordinance being performed.  It was a wonderful service.  Solnichney is a very nice branch and there is a lot of fellowship there.

We took another 90 minute bus ride and got home about 20:00 - which is 30 minutes past curfew. We don't have the same rules as the younger missionaries but we try to follow their rules as best we can.  Except for that getting up at 06:30!
