Ron writes: This last Saturday we had the opportunity to meet members of the Centerville IA branch because most of them went to the Nauvoo temple to accompany a couple in their ward who got their endowments for the first time and were also sealed. The Nauvoo Temple is quite different in that we walk through the very front door and needed reservations for the session. Luckily, we were able to get in, meet the couple, and other members of the ward. After the couple's sealing, Colene and I were able to do temple work for my mother Rose. At the end of the day we drove 70 miles to a baptism for the branch, and got home to our house at 10 in the evening--a long day starting at 6 AM and with 7 hours of driving and meeting folks. Our branch president is an Iowa farmer. His family of grown up sons and daughters represent about 1/3 of the branch. Once the sons and daughters start having children, the White families should quickly outnumber everyone else. Our branch is located in what used to be a community dance hall located in a barn. Then it became a bar for awhile, and now has been completely rennovated and is a nice meeting place for our small branch. On Monday, 21 Feb, we went to the Corydon Museum, met our supervisor, and are now learning to do microfilming of probate records for Wayne County. It's going to be fun!
