Fishers of men

Br. Roberts and Elder Quincy took Luke fishing Monday morning.  Its great to combine 2 kinds of fishing on a PDay morning.

I told you about the miracle of the Jones family.

They moved to Farmington, New Mexico in January. Amanda, the mom, sent me these picture of  the baptism of their 3 oldest kid on Saturday!

Sweet Br. Ford died Wednesday morning.

We've loved taking the sacrament to he and his sweet wife.  His funeral was a happy one.  He was so ready to get rid of his failing body.

We were at the church from 9 to 6 Saturday.  We set up for the funeral luncheon, attended the funeral, set up for the baptism, served the funeral luncheon, cleaned up and then it was time for the baptism.  Shawn Harris and Morgan Graham are cousins.  A cousin of Shawn on the other side of them family has also been taking the lessons. She, Sagen, is soo sweet.  She brought her mom and little sister to the baptism.

Br. Roberts baptized Shawn's mom and Morgan's dad many years ago.  Since Morgan's dad wasn't quite ready to do the baptisms, Br. Roberts was their first choice.  Elder Quincy gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and did a great job.

Here's the dad and his 13 year old son.

Ready!

The family planned a picnic in the park after, but it was raining, so we had a picnic in the gym.

We have been working at activating this family for 7 months now.  This was a big step. 

After eating at the funeral luncheon at 3, and the post baptism picnic at 5, we took the Sisters to dinner at a part member home at 6:30. We came home uncomfortably full last night! We had meals with members and investigators 8 times this week!  That's a first!  Elder Quincy fixed a truck, dressed another body and  repaired a dryer which was less service than usual.  I got to do Primary music today and Elder Quincy taught a primary class. 
We were driving Luke home from a lesson at the church Friday and talking about his upcoming baptism and his future marriage.  He asked us how much it costs to get married in the temple.  We laughed and said; "about a year".  We are pretty excited about his upcoming baptism! 
We took Ruby Morales to the airport this afternoon with her new baby and her less than 2 year old son.  I tried to get a pass to help her to the gate, but they don't do that any more!  So I left her at the security line and prayed for her.  She texted late Sunday night to say she'd made it and was with her husband Antonio in Guatemala!!  Such a relief!  Now we're praying that things go well at Immigration today!
