KUMARIE BAPTISM

Kumarie, who is 13 years old, has decided to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her baptism was on Friday night, right after the baby shower -- two celebrations for the two newest members of our Branch - Kumarie and the soon to arrive baby De Ligne. This is Kumarie with her Mom, Sister Leroy. Kumarie is from India and was adopted by the Leroys.

Kumari and her Dad, Brother Leroy, waiting for the baptism to begin. She is a very mature young lady, but at 13 still has a few little girl traits (check out the red shoes).

The Mendenhalls are a family in the Branch that we home teach. Pictured here are Sister Mendenhal, Heidi, Brother Mendenhall, and Taylor. They also have 4 other girls. They are a great family and we have really learned to love them. The whole Branch turned out to celebrate the baptism. Unfortunately, we didn't get pictures of any of the others.
