What an amazing experience we've had over the past few months. In October Dan was at Wells Fargo doing a bit of banking and business. There at the bank was this family--They are from Mexico and had only been in Utah since the beginning of August. Well I believe that timing is everything!! We befriended this family and in November our friendship turned into a missionary experience. I being the one to really communicate with them because of my spanish--decided to ask them to come to church with us one Sunday--and 3 months later they asked Dan to baptize them.
Dan, Juan Carlos, Mary, Carla, Cristian, Me, Luke, Steven and Cody. It was such a great experience for my boys too. They loved seeing their dad baptizing--their excitement was overwhelming!
Such a sweet family!!! And we are blessed to have met them!

I love stories like this, ones with happy endings and where good things happen for good people. That is so neat that you were the instruments that brought the gospel to these people. Their lives will forever be changed!
Buen hecho amigos! Buen hecho! :)
What an amazing experience. Where did you learn to speak spanish? Did you serve a mission?
Yes, Mexico was wonderful!It was great to spend that time with Luke. I cried for two days prior to leaving. I did not want to leave my kids but they did great!
THAT IS FANTASTIC! What a great experience! SO cool! I'm so proud of you guys!
That is awesome Stephanie. Bjorn and Katie had a similar experience with their neighbors with mom and two sons being baptized. Keep it up.
OH! That gives me chills. What a fantastic experience. Kinda makes you miss the mission, right? Waytigo!!! Thanks for sharing!
