Relief Society Sisters Learn How to Make Tamales
Reyna Seifert and her sister Connie Bravo gave a lesson on tamale making in an evening Relief Society meeting. It is reported that the sisters "had the best time!" They learned how to make pork tamales and a Jack cheese with jalaperno tamale. Both kinds proved to be delicious. Reyna taught them the steps to preparing the masa with a few extra tips she learned from a friend. She taught how she prepares the pork and how to make Chile sauce from dried California Chiles and pasilla chilies. There was a demonstration on how to make the tamale and fold it into parchment paper. The sisters made about 70 tamales and steamed them on the stove. While they were waiting Rayna answered a few more questions. Every sister went home with a plate full of tamales to share with their families. Thanks to Rayna and Connie for sharing their talents. It was a great evening.
Christopher Radulovich Baptized
Christopher was baptized on January 15, 2022 by his father, James.
His mother, Margarette, wrote this about his baptism: "We weren't sure it was going to happen Saturday until it was happening. Chris was excited, but scared about some of the details. We had only immediate family per Christopher's request (and member of the bishopric, brother Fairbanks) and made sure Chris knew he could say no, or not now at any time. Chis checked the temperature, and depth of the water before getting in, and took some time to get used to the water before he was ready. We skipped the typical handhold, one of the things Chris was anxious about (confirmed optional by handbook and brother Fairbanks). James had one hand raised to the square, and the other on Chris's head during the baptism prayer, and let Chris go under on his own. That night Chris told me he was happy he had the Holy Ghost."
