A special baptism

Lily's best friend at preschool last year was Annabel. Throughout the year I got to know Annabel's mom, Windy, too. When preschool ended, I figured we would still see Annabel, but not too much since the girls would not be going to the same school. Through conversations during the year, Windy learned that we are LDS, and a few other friends her kids go to school with are as well. In fact, it turns out that Windy's husband is an inactive member of the church!

Perhaps it was the 2nd Sunday of summer vacation when we walked into church and saw Windy, Annabel, and the rest of their family sitting in church next to another family they have gotten to become friends with! Their family started to take the missionary discussions, and we were privileged to have the last 3 in our home. I have never had the opportunity to watch a friend come into the church, so it was something rather special.

Windy and her oldest daughter Bethany were baptized last night. It was really special to watch Greg (Windy's husband) have the opportunity to baptize part of his family. We are so excited for them and look forward to watching them continue to progress and grow in the gospel. Doesn't Windy look so happy in the photo?!
