November 9th - Happy 19th Birthday Elder Malloy

Happy Birthday Elder Malloy. We kept with tradition (as hard as that was) and took the family to Red Robin for your "Birthday Dinner".

Ding Dong!
Sunday night we hear the door bell ring and realize that we have a visitor at our door.The South Africa MTC Presidents' daughter actually turns out to be a neighbor! She lives a couple of blocks from us and stopped by to show us this picture of Connor that her Mom (Sister Reber) sent to her. What are the odds? Amazing family! We are so grateful for them.  

Today the MTC Choir performed at three local wards....during their Sacrament Meetings.
The MTC Choir sang "Hope of Israel" with Elder Holloway conducting and Elder Labrum at the piano.
The soloists were:  Elder Lawson, Kibirango, Packard and Cahill.
It was wonderful, impressive and really brought the Spirit.  Just seeing the 23 Elders walk into the meeting
was powerful.  The Elders are so good and trying so hard to do everything right!  The chapel is hallowed by their
very presense.  EVERY Elder sang....and sang well.

Happy Birthday...


 Saturday night we had a birthday party for Elder Malloy.  We had a group of Elders play "happy birthday" on the chimes.
Then we had Elder Rizk sing to him in German, Elder Kibirango and Elder Nasibu sing to him in Luganda, and Elder Bomba sing to him in Shona.  We all sang to Elder Malloy in English.  We had cake and ice cream to celebrate Elder Malloy's 19th birthday.  The photos will
give you a feel for the fun time it was.  It was certainly unlike any party he has ever had before.


















We are filled with gratitude for being blessed with an awesome birthday boy! we love you son:-)
