15 August 1999

Church just got over.  I taught the lesson in priesthood (duties of Teachers), taught the primary how to sing "Love One Another" and gave a little lesson about it, and in sacrament meeting, I confirmed Josephine a member of the Church and gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Five of the six people who are getting baptized on August 28 were at church today.  The only one missing was Lolito.  His wife just gave birth, so he didn't want to leave her.

There are three people named Josephine in Almeria Group now: Josephine Sabornado, the one who was just baptized yesterday; Josephine Berdida, a 19-year-old new member; and Josephine, a 13-year-old girl, otherwise known as Ephine.

I forgot to mention earlier that there was an earthquake today while I was teaching priesthood.  It was just strong enough to give the house a good shake.  It was cool.  I had never experienced an earthquake before.
