I spoke a few weeks ago about the two little girls that Elder O'Neal and the young missionaries have been teaching since we got here. Last Sunday was their third time to attend church with their mom so their baptism could be scheduled for today. On Sunday, one of the branch members that also lives in Mania asked their mom, Starry, why she wasn't being baptized also. She had attended all of the lessons and even sometimes answered questions but she had told the missionaries right at first that she didn't want to be baptized because she wanted to keep going to her own church. However, when asked the question on Sunday, she told Nadine she had been thinking about getting baptized herself and felt that she was ready. She then spoke to the Branch president and he called us right after church to tell us the news. So today's baptism was for three sweet girls :
And all three girls asked Elder O'Neal to both baptize and confirm them. It was so special! Here's the whole group:
We have still not been able to find the father's records but he's perfectly willing to be baptized again so it looks like the missionaries will now go over the lessons with him. So beautiful. Kia Ora, Elder and Sister O'Neal
