Two In, Two Out

 As a kid, growing up in central Pennsylvania, I (David) listened to Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball a lot on my Radio Shack transistor radio. The voice of the Pirates then was Bob Prince, who called Pirates games from 1948 to 1975. He was known for clever nicknames and phrases, such as deuces wild, meaning two on (base), two out, two balls, two strikes.

This past week we welcomed two new young single adults (YSA)  into our group as they were baptized, and we said farewell to two who were married in the Preston England Temple for time and all eternity, thus graduating to the category of young married adults -(YMA?) .  

Danny was baptized in Dunfermline and Temeeka was baptized in Dundee. They are both wonderful additions to our group.

Claire and Dallin were married by our Stake President in the Dunfermline Chapel on Friday afternoon and then sealed in the Temple on Saturday. In the UK, the Temple sealing is not recognized as a marriage, and thus the necessity of the chapel wedding first. This does allow more friends to participate in the festivities! The reception Friday evening included a ceilidh (traditional Scottish folk dancing), and was lots of fun.
