Matthew 12:12, "Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days."
Today we handed out #LightTheWorld calendars to the Branch members. We had simple service ideas that everyone could do to Light the World.
This young man, Thushara, chose this day to be baptised. First picture he is with the Branch President Kumara. The second picture he is standing with President Kumara and his girlfriend, Diana Sansoni. She served a mission in the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

Elder and Sister Lathen made it here from Colombo. |
Here we are with Thushara and Diana.
Thushara's friends.
This gentleman and his wife, Brother and Sister John, were visiting from England. He was sharing his testimony about how he was here about 20 years ago. He was one of the first members to start holding meetings in Kandy. They would meet at a home with two couples. He baptised his sons school teacher and another gentleman who became the first Branch President there. That's when it all started and it keeps growing.
Some beautiful young woman from Kandy.
Trying to take a selfie at Relief Society. We need some practice!😄
After all the meetings the Sansoni family brought birthday cake and treats for the Branch to celebrate Thushara's baptism and birthday.
Tried a Sri Lankan sweet treat called Aluwa. It's made out of rice flour, sugar, milk, butter and spices. Very sweet!
