One Last Amazing Baptism!

Mirlyn has been a great investigator that we have taught with various elders for the past three months.  Her husband isn't interested, but didn't keep her from learning all she could about the church, gaining a testimony and being baptized Saturday, May 18th.

 Lyn introduced Mirlyn to the gospel and has friendshipped her all the way! Elder Watts baptized her and Elder Reading came at the end to help close the deal.

I got to speak at her baptism. It was the first time I have ever worn sunglasses to give a talk!

 It was super bright and just

a beautiful day for Mirlyn to be baptized in her own pool!

We had a wonderful time and a great meal afterward, provided by everyone, but especially the Filipino sisters.

 Last night we went on a teaching appointment with Elders Koponen and Bernskov.  They always ride their bikes and it is hard for us to keep up with them--in every way!

 Here I am with my seminary kids today during second hour of church.  They all gave great talks in Sacrament Meeting and then we had our lesson.  Only two more classes until we go home.  We will miss these amazing kids!!!

 After church we had 31 for lunch!  Here they come out of the elevator!

Maybe a few too many were packed in there? Can you find me in the picture?

 We're not sure our hearts can take it to leave these sweet members,

and investigators!

May God keep them all safely in His care when we leave them in ten days.  

Maybe I will be able to do one last post next week.  We're sad thinking of finishing this never-to-be-duplicated missionary journey.
