Hermana Viviana Molina requests Dad/Mike to Baptise her

This was a sweet experience for Dad/Mike to be asked to Baptize this young woman. She lives with her sister who was baptized 7 mos ago, and it has truly changed their lives

Sarah and I drove over to the church to help Dad/Mike and be there for the ordinance. It was very sweet. This sister was nervous and we hugged and talked before hand that the Lord will bless her all of her life for making this great decision. She told us she knew it would all be fine. She was there with many others who love and have fellowshipped her so well. We were happy to hear that. We helped hold onto all of Dads/Mike's things, like wallet, phone, planner, keys, mission manual, shoes, socks, plaqua, suit, shirt, tie, because there is no locker in the bano, and our dear Elder Freeman just had his scriptures and backpack stolen right off the church bench in the Sacrament meeting! We were not going to let something so temporal get in the way of this sweet event with the sister. Her sister stood up first and shared her testimony of how the Lord has lightened her trials and made her so happy. She said she never tires of talking to others about Jesus Christ and that He will bless her little family too, all of their lives. Sarah and I said she will probably soon be serving in Relief Society and also taking a whole group of YW off to camp too. How wonderful. As Mike came out of the bathroom, all squeeky clean and 'wet around the cuffs,' he said how marvelous this was, since he doesn't think he has baptized anyone since he Baptized our little Sarah,7 years ago. It also tenderly reminded him of the happy day when he was baptized, April 2, 1977, in 4 days from today, it will be 32 years ago. He can't believe how much the Lord has blessed him for that one decision.
