Sunday at Kwa Quga Branch

I met these good-looking young men after church Sunday.  The one in the middle is the nicest,
friendliest, and best looking in the ward.  He is 13 so I took his picture for Rylie.  She wanted us
to find her a good-looking 13-year old for her.  So there you are--What do you think Ry?
Also, the 2 younger boys with the red ties are twins.  Their names are Blessed and Blessing.  I thought the names were pretty unique.  The rest just came running when I started to take a  picture.  Everyone loves to have their picture taken.

The Relief Society meets with the Stake Leaders after church.

This Sunday was a special day for the Kwa Quga Branch--they
became a ward!  The members were so excited.  Six years ago a
small group (referred to as a twig) of 10 people met as a unit.  They
became a branch, today a ward, and their plan is to divide the ward in
5 years.  The church is growing so fast and the problem is getting
the leaders trained to take over.

President Boshoff is a dynamic leader in the Pretoria Stake.  He
thinks they will divide the stake in 5 years as well.

You can see the chapel from the
highway and it is quite a dramatic
sight.  The members are all black as
Kwa Quga is a township about 50
miles from Pretoria.  The farm land is
beautiful here--Sugar cane, corn that
makes mealie meal that is a basic food
staple, and some cattle grazing.
