Wedding for Yiheng Wang and Yang Yang

On a very rainy evening, a few friends gathered at the Kentlands Chapel to celebrate the marriage of Yiheng Wang to Yang Yang.  President Charles Huang performed a very brief wedding ceremony in the chapel, where the bride and groom took their vows for each other.  Then with the help of Kevin Wang, the best man, the bride and groom exchanged rings.  The two of them posed for photos with individual families in the chapel.

In the cultural hall, after a blessing on the food, the groom and bride said a few words.  Then we enjoyed a deliciously catered dinner.  To test how much the groom knew his wife, he was blindfolded and asked to shake the hands of several young ladies including his bride.  After several rounds, he discovered his wife.  Later, the bride and groom cut the cake.  Finally, the bride tossed her bouquet to a line of eligible maidens.  Everyone helped in the clean up.

Despite the very wet weather this evening, all those who participated enjoyed this festive celebration.  We were honored to witness the union of Yiheng to Yang Yang.  To see their joy added to our joy.  We wish the best for the newlyweds in their new lives.  Congratulations, Yiheng and Yang Yang!

2018-07-01 Baptism of Daniel

Today Daniel was baptized by his father Greg. Many of their relatives along with church members attended this beautiful baptism. The program started with piano music provided by Henri. Da Zhao gave a talk about baptism and the Holy Ghost showing Daniel a bowl of water, pepper, and cleaning detergent representing the world, dirty things of the world, and how baptism cleanses him. Shortly followed by the talk, Daniel was baptized by his father. While they were changing, many people wrote congratulatory notes to Daniel. Immediately after the baptism, Greg confirmed Daniel by a circle of Melchizedek Priesthood holders. Following that Abbey welcomed him into the Primary and then Charles welcomed him to the branch. Daniel was ecstatic after the baptism and his father said he was 'glowing with smiles' the rest of the day.
