Later that week he called and said he was ready and wanted to be baptized that night. I arranged the baptism, drove over to Ko Olina and interviewed him, filled out the papers, and then suggested he actually wait until he returns home so their children could be present. Since then he has taken his time and studied a number of books. We've become "e-mail pals" as we shared scriptures, answered gospel questions, etc.
So you can appreciate how happy both of us were to receive his e-mail saying his baptism date was set, and asking for a letter from me that his wife could read at the baptism. He was baptized this week! Now we're looking forward to a visit from them a year from now so they can be sealed in the South Jordan Temple!
My testimony has been growing steadily but not rapidly as I still try to figure out the balance between work and the everyday versus our eternal roles and perspectives. Nonetheless, we are so much stronger as a family and individuals with the ever present blessings of the Gospel.
