It all started with a phone call from my Best Friend Betsy last Sunday night telling
me that her mom and little brother were going to be Baptized
on Saturday. I could not believe what I was hearing!!!
We were so excited. I met Betsy when I lived in Chico,
She moved to Utah with me for a while and was Baptized in 2006.
All Betsy ever wanted was for her family to be baptized too and experience the same
Joy she had felt.
She had no idea that her mother and brother were even taking the discussions.
Someone gave Chris's name to the Missionary's to attend Scouts.
Norka (Betsy's mom) invited them in for dinner, where the Missionary's
taught the first discussion. 2 weeks later they were Baptized!
Wow the Lord truly does work in the most amazing ways!
The Baptism was awesome! Chris was Baptized first, and he didn't go down all the way,
But it was meant to be because Betsy and Norka wouldn't have been able to see it,
they were still in the bathroom.
So he went down again and everyone was able to see it.
Betsy is also a trooper she was asked to share a few thoughts,
and her testimony. She did such an amazing job!
She is an amazing speaker and I will never forget the words she shared that night.
One thing I will share she said was,
"I never would have thought that the same person that introduced me to the Gospel
would be sitting here today at my mom and little brother's Baptism. I am so happy"
I am happy too.

Norka and Chris were Baptized on Saturday May 8th 2010.
All of us together after the Baptism. Daniel was even able to go!!! :)
