There have been many blessings coming from our year-long program of visiting children in the Dominican Republic to celebrate the birthdays of our grand children. We were invited to a wedding. I was able to baptize a young man. We were invited to other activities coming from members who had children who had birthdays the same time as our nietos. (grand kids!)
Mayelin Altagracia Gonzales Aragones is her name, that is a mouthful, but I did remember it until I said it in the baptism prayer. Miracle. Beyond that, I am old and forget oh, what's her name.... ;)
Well, last Saturday, I was blessed again to baptize another young girl turning eight. We celebrated Ashley's birthday by presenting her gifts, chocolate, and visits for her birthday. It was a joy to do so. When we were called to work in the Education System of the church, I really thought there would be no baptism opportunities, but I was mistaken. I have had to borrow white baptism clothing each time.What a joy it is to enter the waters of baptism and use my Priesthood to baptize these kids.
