AMAGER GREN

One of the most cherished memories of our mission is our little branch on Amager.  The members here are a wonderful variety of ages and personalities.  One Deacon, 2 Young Women and 6 primary children keep us all young and on our toes.  The marvelous thing is that all ages interact, are comfortable with, and share a great love for one another and for the gospel.  Close-knit and faithful.  They have been great examples to us and it will be strange sitting next week in a large ward  singing and listening to talks and lessons in English. For 3 hours.

The branch president is not from the branch boundaries and has served 4 years and hopes to serve more.  The Relief Society president is a young mother expecting child #3.  The young women and young men's presidents are both young, single and enthusiastic.  All members have served in all organizations many times.  Today's  testimony meeting was a very emotional good-bye for us.  Good friends.  Some have promised to come visit, and some we will never see again in this life.  We will miss this little branch, but are so grateful to have been assigned here.

We had a farewell fest at the Valgren's home and true to form, most of the whole branch came.  Love these people.
