May 22, was a very special day for our Bedford Branch as Tammy Hilliker and her son Zachery and daughter Mehgan entered the waters of baptism and became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was Elder Chapman's privilege to baptize Tammy. Her son and daughter were baptized by Brother Dutton and Brother Vanderhoven of the Salem Ward where they have been friendshipped and helped and encouraged in so many ways before moving into the Bedford Branch area.

Elder's Whitby and Shelburne did the teaching (along with Elder Cowley from before). The members did the fellowshipping and inviting to church activities, meetings and scouting programs.

They are a lovely family, living with Tammy's parents and grandmother in the parent's home in Thaxton, a small rural community west of Bedford.
