Farewell to Allens and Cannons, Christopher's Baptism, and fun Restaurant

There are 5 senior couples living in our building.  We take turns having FHE at our apartments.  Well my turn was coming up and we were having two of the couples leaving so I decided we needed to have a little farewell party for them.  Actually one of the couples isn't in our group, but we love them just the same.  Since our apts are so small I decided to hold the party in the conference room right next to the office.  Sister Nilsen and Abrams did the decorating.  The Cannons served an MLS mission.  He is the father of our mission pres that left in July.  He is 87 years old and going strong.  Elder Cannon was mission pres of one of the Florida missions in the past and this is his 5th mission.  His new wife has also served several missions.  These "newlyweds" both lost their spouses a few years ago.  Elder Cannon actually had 2 of his former wives die.  They are both so hard working and are such an example to all.  The Allens just finished serving their second mission in records preservation.  They worked in the Archives of Quebec.  Elder Allen served in England as a young missionary.  This couple is also a great example of faith and dedication.  

                                                      We had lots of yummy food.

                                                 We always have fun conversations.

 Last Saturday we went to the baptism of Christopher.  This lovely family is from Haiti and they are very dedicated to the Lord and in serving him.  He does a lot of traveling for his job training people in computer skills and helping fix computer problems for a large company.  She just graduated as a nurse, but is at the moment a stay at home mom.

I love driving past this fun restaurant called At my darling fat sow's.  See the darling sow in her leotard. This is a very expensive restaurant too.  Of course everything in Montreal is very expensive, but this one is a bit more so.
