"Good luck with him..."

Saturday night was the first baptism in the new baptismal font and it was definitely a night to remember. We baptized David Ore and oh what a great experience it was. All of David’s families are members including his wife and kids and he has listened to the missionaries since 1996. I remember the first time we met him, we talked to him for a bit and tried to see if he was interested in listening to us (we didn’t know that he had listened to the Elders before) and he accepted an appointment. Before we arrived at the house we ran into his mother in law who had a bit of advice for us. She told us ¨Good luck with him, we’ve tried and no one has been able to get through to him¨. The Lord prepares his children and he prepared David to be baptized the 17th of January. As we were leaving the baptismal font he just kept smiling at me, gave me a huge hug, and just told me thanks. I don’t feel as if I did anything to help him make his decision except show up and teach him the lessons. They are already planning on going to the temple next year.
