April Showers bring--- May flowers

Here it is the end of April and the showers have begun, the wind has died down enough to call it a nice quiet rainy day. We have had 3 days in a row of rain, rain and more rain. So far, we are not at flood stage by our apartment. Thank goodness.

Here are some more pictures of our little garden on our patio, Bryce is really enthused that everything is starting to green up nicely.

As you can see we have tomatoes growing upside down in the black containers and strawberries in the hanging pouches. These pictures are already old news, we now have blossoms on the tomatoes and the strawberries, and have picked 1 cucumber from the vine. We also have pole beans growing along the fence behind Bryce. Will try and get a current picture for the blog update soon. My camera refuses to download the pictures without a fight each time I try to do so. Hopefully I will win out and get my pictures saved to my computer soon.

Our mission is going well, we had a baptism last Sunday and will have 2 more soon, the lessons are going on every week with many of the battle buddies of our members. Last week Sunday we had over 50 in attendance which surprised us as we had a graduating class of 17 members leaving us the week before, we hoped we would have 35 in attendance and were blessed with more non-members coming to replace the ones leaving. The Lord is sifting and sorting all the time and we are reaping the harvest continually.

On one of the graduation days we recorded the guest speaker, COL Mary Anne Baker and thought her words would inspire you as much as they did us and the graduating class. She was the former commander of the training brigade.
