The Bellingham Family History Center is a wonderful place we take investigators and less actives that are interested in family history. The staff is great and really enjoy helping people. We have been taking one brother who has enough information to submit about 10 names for temple work. He is very excited and trying to get ready to go to the temple to baptisms for his relatives. He is kind gentle man who easily gets distracted but we are hope he will stick with it.
WE had little get together of some of the new converts in the ward so I thought I would introduce some of them. Bret, the one on the left is the brother interested in family history. Mauricio and KC Chavez are two wonderful fellowshippers from the ward. They are both fluent in Spanish and English and make everyone feel welcome. They are a great asset to the ward.


Amanda joined the church last November. She is 24 and has a 3 year old daughter. She met the missionaries when their frisbie hit her car. She hosted the testimony meeting and has a great love for the savior. We were able to teach her the new member discussions and loved every minute of it.  


This is Cynthia Marie. She joined the church a little less that a year ago. She is very anxious to go to the temple andhas a very sweet testimony. She works hard at being a missionary and brings joy wherever she goes.
The lady is Mary Parks who was baptized a little over a month ago. She has had a lot of challenges un her life but now feels like she has a lot of support.
The standing missionary is Elder Victoria from Hawaii and the kneeling one is Elder Daniels. They are both awesome. The man in the Chair is Don Glad and inactive member who lives next door. He is a great guy and quite a character.


These are other two missionaries in our Ward, Elder Perkins and Elder Johnstun. We are so bless to have 3 sets of missionaries in our ward. WE have to work to stay coordinated but overall we work fairly well as a team.
