These are some of the wonderful people that were baptized and preformed baptisms on Saturday, July 6Th.The weather is cold here -- I do not know how they could step into the fridge water -- yes, they stepped in carefully, and shivered a bit-- but they did get it.
More importantly, each one came out of the baptismal font with a glorious smile.
After changing into dry clothes -- each bore a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and His Church. We had two couples that we baptized -- one had just been civilly married on Friday at our chapel. They had a solemn but simple ceremony -- breaking with the tradition to have a lavish event when they are civilly married. This particular couple's five sons preceded them in being baptized and the mother today told how grateful she was to be baptized that she had waited for this time when all the family would be members of The Church.
It is good to be a part of such special times -- this is one of the greatest joys of being a missionary.
