Armando Lopez's baptism




Dear Armando is nine years old. His dear sister Alejandra is the first person to befriend Brittany when we moved here. Ale had become inactive after trying hard to come on her own. She also worked Sundays and had several buses to catch.

Armando was baptized because the parents have regained commitment to the gospel. The two of them are not baptized because of the father still being married to a wife in Mexico. That would constitute a problem. He is working on fixing that problem. Brother and sister Lopez above with new baby named after Andrew the first missionary to teach them. And Lex a spanish speaking man in our ward who befriended them for years! Alejandra and Armando, James, Britt and the missionaries.

Both parents bore testimony and spoke at Armando's baptism. That little boy was beaming with goodness. This was a beautiful experience for me. Absolutely worth living here.

The missionaries above are the ones who baptized Armando. They also came to dinner the next day at our home. It was a great visit. Elder Archibald and Elder Minos.
