“… AND MY HUSBAND WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED WITH YOU GUYS TOO.”

“… AND MY HUSBAND WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED WITH YOU GUYS TOO.”

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The above was the message on the voice mail tonight. This has been a really slow week. Fibromyalgia hit late Monday and we’ve been stuck at home ever since. We had a teaching appointment with Amy this afternoon and set the date of September 25th for her baptism in order to work around Brett’s work schedule of two weeks gone and then one week home. We felt kind of bad it was so far out, but what could we do? She also told us she hadn’t told Brett yet that she was ready to be baptized but said she would.
Tonight we were playing Michigan Rummy when the phone rang. We missed answering it and then were beeped to let us know that we had a message. It was Amy. She’d told him about being baptized and he said he’d like to be baptized too. He said he’d been christened as a baby, but that’s all he’s ever done in a church. We are so excited. Orson said he had been praying all day that a way would open up that we could help them become a complete family in the church. Amy had told us already that he didn’t oppose anything she did religiously. It sounds to us that he wants to join her and make their family a united family in the gospel. What a blessing! We are so grateful and humbled by this.
