They were desirous to be baptized as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts. Mosiah 21:35
We are celebrating a great event today. The father of the family baptized a month or so ago was baptized today! What a blessing it is to see a whole family become members of Christ's Church and work towards being sealed together in the temple for time and all eternity in a year! This family is overjoyed and their smiles and happiness radiate to everyone in their presence. They are a choice family and will be a wonderful strength to Stoke Ward. We thought they were going to have to move, but the father found a job in the area. Now, we all pray they will be able to stay and help build the ward. Another man was also baptized who will also add more priesthood into the ward. They are welcomed warmly.
Elder Blain took off the gray tie for the baptism, of course. |
This family from the Czech Republic can now become an eternal family. They are learning English and progressing well. |
We all tried to cram ourselves into the photo as you can see. |
Just before the baptismal service began |
We were invited over to their home for some real Czech food after the baptisms. Yummy! |
Our interpreter bore his testimony today along with everyone else. He is coming to church and will perhaps be the next new member of Stoke Ward. |
