"why are you not baptised?"....

to quote a line from nacho libre "why are you not baptised?"..."because i never got around to it..OKAY"
for those of you who don't know, my parents have a kid name Juan living with them. Because of different life circumstances he didn't have anywhere to live while he finished his senior year. so the amazing people that my parents are agreed to let him come live with them, not knowing anything about him, but the word of a friend that he was a good kid. It was definitely a gamble that payed off. We love Juan, and are so glad that he is part of our family now. this past Saturday my dad was able to baptise Juan a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Juan had had the missionary discussions 3 times through out his life and never felt ready for baptism. I'm so glad he finally made the decision to get baptised and commit himself to living the gospel. We love you Juan and we're glad that you ended up with our family. :)

That is so awesome! Your parents are such good people. How are you guys...we need to get together again soon. Mike and I just bought a house we are really excited...we close on October 27th so we just hope everything keeps going the way it is supposed to. We actually bought Rick and Heather Devores house on 4th West.
