Game night, farewell to Sister Liou, and final Family and Marriage Class

In the heat of the summer, the branch hosted a game night in the chapel. There were plenty of board games for young and older. The best action might the sisters playing ping pong with the older sisters. It was a very serious competive game.

Sister Liou has successfully finished her 1.5 year mission serving in our branch and many other wards. From her beginning when she can barely speak Mandarin to when she leaves speaking almost like a fluent native, she's definitely grown spiritually and intellectually! Thank you Sister Liou for your service!

The Herzoff' has taught the married couples of our branch invaluable lessons how to become better wives and husbands. The most valuable word to learn is: forgiveness. We will surely miss them as they have completed teaching us these lessons and they will finish their mission at the beginning of August. Thank you so much!

The students of the class will understand the meaning of this.

Young Men's first scout camp in nearly 20 years

This might be a historic moment in the branch's history. For the first time, maybe in a very long time or ever, we have five young men going to scout camping. Since the combine youth class back in 2014, one of the benefits having more youth is they have more activities that are available. For this instance, since our branch is too small to have an actual scouting program, our young men were able to join the Kentland's YM camping this year. It was a great day!

Seminary Graduation

In an almost packed chapel, President Nathan Sheets welcomed and conducted the Seminary graduation fireside tonight.  He also accepted the graduates.  Our very own Amanda Huang sat on the stand and delivered a most touching talk on her experience with online Seminary and Home Study Seminary.  Although she was the only Seminary graduate from our branch this year, it was an honor, along with President Huang, to shake her hands as she received her Seminary diploma.  What a great achievement to complete four years of Seminary!  Congratulations, Amanda, and good luck to you.

Earlier in the day, at Sacrament Meeting, Amanda, along with her classmates, Ling and Megan, and their teacher, spoke about what they had learned in Seminary this year.  Ling and Megan also completed a full year of Seminary course work this year.

Linger Longer for Pugmires

At the end of Sacrament Meeting, President Huang requested that Brother and Sister Pugmire share their testimony on their last day at the branch.  Ashley directed her testimony mainly to the Young Women, who just gave talks today.  She reminisced on her cherished memories with the Young Women and then bore her testimony.  Matt also shared an emotional testimony and encouraged the Young Men to be faithful.  After church, a Linger Longer activity was held in their honor.  Thank you, Pugmires, for all you have done for our branch!
