Baptism

Elder Maughan had his first baptism the past Sunday, April 20th. Harold has been taking the discussions for quite a while, but finally committed to baptism. Harolds' sister has been a member for a year and they walk nearly 50 blocks to get to church each week. Now THAT'S faith.

Here is a little part of Justin's letter home, "Harold has come along way since we met the first weekend in Brooklyn. That first night he wasn't involved in the discussion. He wouldn't make eye contact, he wasn't paying attention and he wasn't retaining anything. He came to church but didn't talk to anyone and he was always really nervous about everything. But now, he's beaming, talking to people at church, telling us stories. He and his sister are pretty dedicated. They walk close to forty or fifty blocks to get to the church every week. It takes a good hour-and-a-half. Isn't that amazing? The gospel has truly blessed his life! You can see the light that has come into him."
