A Wonderful Event!

About a month ago, Rick received a call from a friend of ours in the ward. He has been coming to church with his wife, (Debbie) for many years although he was not a member. He even has sang with the ward choir. In his call, he asked Rick to say the prayer at his baptism. We were so excited for him. Well tonight, we attended his baptism. It was a beautiful baptism. His stepson baptised him and his son-in-law confirmed him. It was mentioned in the talks that he had gone through five bishops whom were all there tonight and everyone chuckled. The whole middle section of the chapel was full with many friends from our ward and from the other ward they lived in twenty years ago. Then the speaker said that he knew that the angels in heaven were shouting with joy. What marvelous blessings he has in store for him in this life with the gift of the Holy Ghost and the opportunity to take his wife to the temple and be sealed to her for eternity and then those blessings which will be given to him in the next life. We are thankful for the opportunity that we had of sharing this great and wonderful event.
