Gety Mpanu Mpanu has been part of our family since she moved into our area in October 2010. We met a few years back when we lived in the same ward in Alexandria and she was a recent convert at that time. When Gety arrived in Burke, she was very hesitant at going to a new ward, having only known HER ward in Alexandria. So I took her under my wings and made sure she kept her wonderful testimony alive.
We have come to be extremely close and she is an aunt to our boys. We love having her with us, as she comes to have FHE with us or just to hang out and have dinner with our family.
For Easter this year, Gety's sister-in-law Marie-Claire had her whole family (or mostly) gathered from all over the US and Europe. They invited us and the Riggs for an Easter celebration.
We had a wonderful day with them. The house was beautifully decorated and filled with children and laughter. It was great getting to know the extended family as well.
The children could not wait for the Easter Egg hunt in the huge backyard!
