More of the Sunday afternoon photo shoot! These are churches that I could walk to in 15 minutes from the mission office. All of them are break-offs from our original church. There are actually about 150 churches that have formed from the original. I am trying to make a collection of as many as I can find.


This is one of the first and was organized by a man named Heddrekite, I think that is how you spell it.

They have a church that we have been into and also own the Temple Site. They think that we are silly to be building temples. They own the original Temple Site and you can read what they say about a temple. We believe that someday this lot will be ours and that we will build a temple here.


Just down the street is the Church of Jesus Christ. Have not been in there, but you see the sign.

This is their all white church.



Another just down the street. The popular name is probably Outreach Restoration Branch.


This is their all white church.


Another within walking distance.


Another very close to where we first lived when we came here. In a very poor, run down part of town. It never looks very used.


We pass this every day on our morning walk.


Once again, I kind of like the stone wall and stairs leading up to it.
So that is five of the 150 and all still cling to some of the original teachings, but most have adapted to their own ways and beliefs.
The missionaries are still working hard and sending in their baptism sheets. We are growing out here where most of the other churches are not. In fact, they are dwindling.
All is Well.
