Youth Emergency Preparedness Activity
The youth of our branch gathered in the Young Women's room of the Kentlands Chapel on an early Saturday morning, March 21, to learn firsthand from Sister Karen Dean about the principles of emergency preparedness. They were also given an opportunity to start assembling 72 hour kits. Those who attended were Kristy Tung, Simon Liu, Joshua Tsai, Melinda Tsai, Emerald Shen, and Amy Ye. We thank Sister Dean for traveling to our chapel to share these important emergency preparedness principles with our youth.

Missionary Fireside
After church on Sunday, February 15, almost 40 people attended the branch missionary fireside. Brother Adam Fugal and the elders planned a most unique but excellent fireside built around the church DVD entitled "An Ensign to the Nations." Conducted by Brother Fugal, the fireside featured clips of testimonies from the DVD, carefully interwoven with live testimonies from our own members, including Jason Liang, David Jiao, Amanda Huang, Alice Huang, Sophy Fugal, Helen He, and Charles Su. The closing song in the DVD, "Faith in Every Footstep," summarized the feeling that faith is required in all we do in the Gospel, in joining the church, sharing the Gospel, and helping to build His kingdom. Afterwards, we watched a slide show showing some of the converts in our branch and enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by several members.
