AWESOME BAPTISM TODAY (10/13/12)
This morning we were able
to attend a baptism of a very successful businessman on the island. He and his family are very respected and
loved. His wife is a member and they
have been married for 18 years. They
have several children, and one of their daughter’s is on a mission in the
midwest. Anyway all these years he has
resisted joining the Church. As a family
they have always had prayers, family home evening and scripture study, but he
kept saying not to pressure him about joining the Church. A few weeks ago their daughter wrote home and
in her letter she said three little words... “FEED THE MISSIONARIES”.
They had fed the missionaries before, but this time our wonderful elders
were prompted to ask him if he would listen to the missionary lessons. He agreed and you know the rest of the
story… The Spirit touched him and he
agreed to be baptized. Needless to say,
his family is ecstatic! Their daughter’s
mission president gave her permission to contact him by phone, and just before
he went into the font he was able talk to her. He didn’t know anything about it and he just
cried - along with a lot of other people... What a special moment. To make it even more special, Dennis was
asked to be one of the witnesses. What
an honor! What a wonderful way to start
the day…
