Hanoi Branch






We attended the Hanoi Branch on Sunday and met many wonderful people. They meet in a house that has been made into a small church. The young girl in the yellow skirt was made the YW's president.She has been a member of the church for 1 1/2 years and is 23 years old. The RS President and Sister Talbot are in another picture. Monday Night we attended the Young Adult FHE which was truly inspiring. The bulk of the branch is young adults who have joined the church in about the last year. Every one here drives a moped or small bike so the young adults gave us a lift home. The people and the place was inspiring.

Who are the people in your neighborhood, in your neighborhoo






While walking through the park we found many couples sitting around, a lovers lane so to say.The couple in the yellow hats actually jumped up and were embarrassed to have their picture taken, they smiled, giggled a bit and we went on our way. The park was full of animals and kiddy rides so I'm sure most of the families had already gone home, this one little girl was willing to smile for us. The one picture is the barbershop, they just sat up with their mirror along the park and went to work.

A walk in Hanoi






Some pictures of the Park, it was splendid!

Animals for Dallin






Not exactly the animals he wanted cause they are not in the wild but across the street from our hotel was a big beautiful park. These are some of the animals in the park.

Good Morning Vietnam






Actually it is good afternoon Vietnam. We arrived in Hanoi to traffic with no rules, honking horns for no particular reason and a beautiful landscape beyond anything we have seen to date. If you look closely at a couple of these pictures tell me which way the traffic is going? You can see women riding side saddle and others with a mop. They carry everything on a bike imaginable including a palm tree.

She's like a " rock star"


We had the great opportunity of having Sister Dalton visit Hong Kong and speak at a couple of meetings. Our Area President, Pres. Perkins had just traveled with her into Taiwan,Cambodia, Thailand and then Hong Kong, He said that it was like travelling with a rock star because the girls all loved her and wanted to meet her, hug her and be near her. They both spoke and gave great talks.

Island 2 Branch






HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM OUR BRANCH. Our Branch President and his wife, the Relief Society Presidency, Our Home teaching group, and some pictures from an activity. The sisters love to get together and sing or perform and love to have their picture taken. You get out a camera and they all come running,it is a crack up, Leslie Shaughnessy would be in her glory with so many willing subjects.
