HOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! WE BAPTISED ROBERTO!
Yes, we had a most happy baptismal service on the 17th of May 2008th year of our Lord! I'm happy. Satan really tried hard to stop it this week too. First of all on Thursday morning we were called and told that Roberto was beaten up by two black guys that night who were lookin for money. They didn't get anything, but Roberto got beat in the head, cut up, and bruised. We saw him later that day and he was....ok. Through out the next days we was gettin better. We baptised him on Saturday and dropped him off at this house that night. Then 20min later when we were at home, we got a call saying that two black guys came to house again, and there was pistols involved and we really didn't know what was going till later on. Roberto and his friend were held up at gun point by the same two black guys while they robbed their house. They didn't take much but it mostly scared the bajeebaus out of Roberto. Thank goodness we were able to confirm him that Sunday. So, despite the opposition, we had a great baptism. I'm happy. We always take a picture with our investigators in front of a painting at the church before they get baptized. I recall saying this time as they took it, "Man I love that baptism blind spot!"(referring to the camera flash of course). Well hmmmmmm. We do have some other good news as well. Ervin and Nicalosa were comitted to getting married and be baptised all on the 31 of May. I'm Extatic! I've always wanted to bring a family into the church. Our Branch Pres. doesn't have a marriage licence yet so were trying to find someone else who can do it. It's work, but hey. Work is better than no work."salvation isn't cheap" -Jeffery R. Holland. We gotta do our part for the Lord to see that we really care. That's faith. "Not every man that saith Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven , but he that doeth the will of the Father which is in heaven" . "but be ye doers of the word and not hearers only" . Two excellent Bible scriptures. Well. I really don't got much else to say. Roseanne I love the MomCow thing Zach drew. Hilarious! I printed off a copy of it. Love yall
