This afternoon we assisted our young Elders in teaching Sister Janssen who will be baptized on Saturday and another fellow, Marcus and his mother, Maryland, they both have baptismal dates set for later in the month. We enjoy having the opportunity to teach and to testify.

Then, this evening, we drove up to Columbia to have dinner with 3 other Missionary Relation Couples; the Wakefields, Putnams, and Polands. We went to a great little restaurant called the Lizard's Thicket. Great little place for good ole southern cook' n. Here are some photos of the event.
