The Cardiff Stake has an on going service project where they put together things needed by newborns and mothers. They put all of the supplies is a baby bath tub, cover them and tie them up like a gift for those in need. They usually provide 30 of these a month.

Missionaries to the Rescue
The Cardiff and Merthyr Zone missionaries got together to help in the clean up effort. There were about 35 missionaries in all. Most time was spent helping clean out debris in the Allotments which are plots people rent for gardens and raising animals like chickens and ducks. Many chickens were drown in the flood.

Ward Temple Trip November 29th-30th
We were able to the London temple again for our ward temple trip Friday & Saturday. 3 new members went for the first time, Amber, Julie & James. Adiyah,another new member was able to receive her Endowment. We had close to 30 members of the ward attend. The London Temple has accommodations for patrons to rent for an overnight stay for about $10 per night per person. Beds, bathrooms with shower and a small kitchen. This makes is doable for those who live 3 to 4hrs away. The Pengilleys provided dinner and breakfast for everyone. We all had a wonderful time.

What a difference a few short weeks make from Fall to Winter.
The temple is all about Christ and our covenants we make with Him.
With my eternal companion. No transfers with a new companion for us.
