This was the day of a celebration at RCC, (Robeson Community College.) Sandra, in the green, is the ESL teacher for the Burmese women and others. She asked these women to do a native dance for the show that was put on.

We drove Elder McMillan and Elder Dunn out to Elizabethtown. In driving around we spotted this cemetery. We stopped to take this picture of E. McMillan. In texting the picture to his father we found out the Rushton's are related to E. McMillan's mother.

Ned did all the footwork to help this couple get married. The elders were teaching them while they were living together. Tek Pa and her daughter Eh Klo want to be baptized. Her new husband is Piang. The bishop married them. Love, Love Eh Klo, (9 yrs old.) She is always so happy and bouncy.

Had the elders over for dinner. We shared the non alcoholic wine James Stephens gave us. They sure laughed and had fun with the thought they were drinking "wine."

We went headed to a less active's home when we drove past this lake just outside of Elizabethtown. We stopped and took a couple of pictures. It is another beautiful part of North Carolina. 

Interesting dead tree in the lake!
