Barbara

 At times, Dad is asked to baptize someone that we've met.  This is Barbara.  The missionaries found her and, I belive, reactivated her mother.  They taught the family and a brother was baptized a couple of months ago.  Now today Barbara has followed.  She is absolutely beautiful and had a special dress made for this occasion.  There is so much light in her face and being.  The first time they attended church, we were able to be there. 
The first time they attended church, we were able to be there.   It happened to be a fast and testimony meeting. We both wondered how they would react.  It was an amazing experience.  She was wiping away tears as she listened to sweet testimonies about things she didn't know much about.  The spirit was wonderful.  Now today she is enjoying the sweet blessings of membership.  Her brother who was baptized earlier gave one of the talks at her baptism and wept as he shared testimony of the things he now has in his life.  His wife is recieving the lessons and has a date to be baptized this month.  They have two adorable little girls.  What an amazing experience this is for us.  We are so grateful.
