You never know about couples over here—are they married? We knew that Brett and Amy were married; it’s come up in conversation several times. They have Deycan who is 2 years old so we assumed they’d been married a couple or 3 years. Tonight we went over to give Brett the rest of the lesson about commandments and to fill out the baptismal forms. When we got to the part about their marriage, Amy quickly found their marriage certificate and there it was—they had just gotten married in April of this year. We were blown away but managed to cover it well enough. We are just so grateful that they are married (and so are they). They were engaged for 3 years. The whole lackadaisical attitude toward marriage over here just blows us away. I guess it’s the same in the states; but because of the circle of folks that we hang out with, we just haven’t had it “in our face” as much as we have had over here. Brett asked Orson to baptize and confirm him as well as Amy. We are so excited!

Oh what good news - both about the baptisms and that they are married! The last thing you need is to deal with trying to get them married if they didn't really feel like it was necessary. I say them getting married so recently is the Lord's hand in it all.
