Their Day!

Our boys were baptized on Saturday the 15th of November.  It has taken me this long to get my act together and put the pictures on the blog.  It was amazing that they wanted to be baptized so fast.  We had an excellent translator that just hit it off with the boys on the first discussion. The boy's had a lot of questions, but after a couple of weeks, they really wanted to be baptized, and were excited about it.  It was a great evening.  We had a lot of people show up, and the boys thought that was really cool.  Thanks again to all that came.  It really meant a lot to us.
