Beholds the man of which i worked for 7.5 months to get to this point. So happy he got baptized, so sad i wasn't there.
From Elder Hale in the Mission Office: Dinner after the baptism of Antoin - seated at the end of the tables. Two young missionaries who taught him, Elders Coka and Fitzgerald are out of the picture behind the lens.
I was honored to give a talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost at his baptism. His wife Pat, seated to his right, was so delighted with her husband's decision to join the Church that she put on a tremendous spread.
We were invited along with leaders of the Witbank Branch of the LDS Church, where we attend by assignment each week. Witbank is located 98 kilometers (about 60 miles) East of our office and flat in Pretoria East.
About 50 people usually attend the Branch. About 40 stayed to witness his baptism.
Pat is legendary for regularly feeding the young missionaries assigned to her congregation. Now I see why. The two will be eating her leftovers from this meal for a week.
