It was a beautiful day...

An absolutely beautiful day! Our thanks to so many of you who have been praying for us and for Cait. She has been an absolute dream investigator and has accepted the gospel from almost the beginning. She was baptised today. It was one of the most spiritual days we've had out here. Her husband Steve is very supportive, but just not interested in joining any church...yet.She is 27 and already has a college degree in Music with a religion minor, but has gone back to college with a Journalism major. It has been amazing to see how throughout her life the Lord has been preparing her to receive the gospel, and to recognize truth when it was presented. Elder Mahaffey was able to baptize her and it was a magnificent experience for us all.There were so many from the ward there and everyone brought something for the luncheon we had afterward. There was a ton of food. The Mission President & his wife (The Cannons) surprised us & came. They originally had a conflict, but were able to somehow change things around and come anyway. They were just newly home from the Mission Presidents' seminar in Palmyra New York . They had just visited the sacred grove and bore powerful testimonies about Joseph Smith and the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. We asked Cait afterward if the day was everything she had expected it would be and she said.."Everything and MORE!"Can you tell from the glow on these faces what an absolutely beautiful experience this was? Both Cait & Steve felt very comfortable in talking with everyone after the baptism and her new Visiting Teacher even came up & introduced herself. We feel so blessed to have even been a small part of this journey with Cait. How blessed we feel to be a part of this wonderful couple's lives and to have been able to see Cait accept the gospel. She's a fantastic young lady.
