A Surprise Baptism

We had wonderful news this afternoon. A young man came into our office to talk to Jerry. He told Jerry that when we had spoken in Montevideo 11th Ward (Barrio 11) in November, there was an investigator there. She was touched by Jerry's talk. She was crying and said this was what she was looking for. She wanted to meet with the missionaries. She is being baptized on Friday.

We are so excited to know about that. We had no idea that our talks about the Career Center would have an impact on anyone. Jerry talked about the book, Believing Christ, which helps us apply the atonement in our lives and realize there is hope. We thanked the young man for letting us know, especially because we only have five more days left in our mission.

So, we have made an impact on at least one person by speaking in other wards. We had a great day!

HI Betty and Jerry, Have a safe trip home! We hope to see you soon. The comment from KKR was from me. I didn't know if you knew who that was. For some reason it comes up with Kimberly's account. Love you!! Kathy and Scott
