Baptism...

We had a very special day this past Saturday. Nate was able to baptize our friend, Dan! The sister missionaries in our ward found him tracting one day. He came to church and Nate and him hit it off that first Sunday and became good friends after that. We had him in our home for lessons and went to his home for lessons as well. We are so grateful that Dan is now a member!

Nate always says that the Lord sends us to these different areas for a reason. Sometimes I wonder what that reason is. As we were sitting in sacrament on Sunday and Dan was walking up to be confirmed, one of my Mom-like friends sweetly reached up and hugged me and said, now you know why you were sent to Kirtland, Ohio. That touched me so much to know that Heavenly Father did send us here for a reason.

That is so neat! Converts need good friends like you and Nate! They help along the journey & build testimonies. I'm so happy you were able to be a part of something so wonderful!

This was a special day! I am glad we moved to Ohio to meet you, Nate, and Coulson and to be a little part of Dan's life as well. I felt a special spirit that day and I knew that what Dan was doing was right. You did an excellent job planning the "after-party". Everything was delicious. :)
