LEXI IS HERE!

February 23, 2011 Wednesday

We have a new grandbaby, Lexi Matilde Porter, daughter of Sam and Lisa. She was born yesterday morning in Long Beach, California. She came by C-section and mom and baby are doing fine. We went to the library and got on the internet this afternoon and saw pictures of her. She’s a cute little baby and will be a delight to everyone around her just like our other grandchildren are. Her middle name is Norwegian. She’s named after Lisa’s grandma. She is our 18th grandchild.
This afternoon we taught Monica. She was a referral from a friend of hers who is receiving the lessons from elders in another ward. She’s from Africa and has a 6 month old boy. He’s tall for his age and very strong. I held him for a bit while Orson was teaching, and I could tell that he wasn’t used to being played with or even smiled at. It’s kind of sad when you see a baby like that. But she was interested in our message. English is a bit of a challenge for her, but not so much that she can’t be taught. We discussed Christ’s church and the things that a church in our day needs to have to be like His church. We are going back again next week.
