Time to Celebrate!

We had just been to District Meeting in Cerquilho and pulled into Tatui on this very hot day and saw the cane juice man at the side of the street. So we stopped to enjoy the shade and have an ice cold drink of cane juice. It really is good, they flavor it with lime or abacaxi (pineapple). We needed to kill some time before heading up for an appointment with Grace. Grace has two wonderful sons, Haury and Ronie, who are faithful, diligent members of the Church. Grace has had many missionaries talk to her over the years about being baptized. The sister missionaries asked us if we would come with them to Grace's to talk to her. Elder Barrus and I have been her home teacher/visiting teacher since we have been here and we dearly love her. Sister Kapp and Sister Gamarano had been praying that she would make the decision to be baptized. So Elder Barrus visited with her and I bore my testimony to her. She was ready, Al asked her if she would be baptized and she said, yes! Al asked her when she wanted to be baptized and she said she was thinking Christmas Eve, which was the date Sister Kapp and Sister Gamarano had been praying for. After we left Grace's we stopped at the corner ice cream store to celebrate!
