It has been a great Sabbath day. Lots of powerful talks, an excellent Sunday School lesson, and to top it all off a baptismal service for a strong father and his son.

    

I already have mentioned some of the articles and talks I read this morning. As I was getting dressed I noticed the items that I put in my pocket including passalong cards – Faith in Christ being the most popular, glasses, and a yellow liner pen, all sitting on a picture of the Prophet Joseph Smith. It just looked right for a picture. After a great block of meetings, Mary was asked to play for the baptism of Victor Texador and his 8 year old son Danel. It was Elder Harral’s first baptisms – he baptized Danel who gave a nice shout as he came out of the water. Elder Shaffer has been successful in all of his areas and is a fine trainer for Elder Harral.

I will mention an opportunity I had to follow the spirit. Just as the Sacrament service was finished, two women stuck their heads into the chapel, looked around and then went back out. It was obvious at least one of them was not a member so as the Deacons were walking back up to the front I felt that I should go out and see it they needed help. It turned out one was a member but the other sister was an investigator that the Elders are teaching. I told them that the sacrament was over and showed them where the elders were sitting with the Texadors. They stayed for Sunday School but not for the baptism service.
