Sergei's Baptism

Well I am sure all of you are just dying to hear about the baptism it went great and Sergei is solid. That is what all the missionaries have been saying that meet him. He knows the Gospel so well and really has a strong testimony. Heaven Father must have some big plans for him later on down the road. Well anyways Saturday was his baptism. Rueslawn baptized him. Rueslawn is a really strong member in our branch. Well anyways if you don't mind me saying Sergei looked great in white. I was so happy. I almost can't even explain it. It really is amazing to see how the Gospel can take someone’s life and change it. I feel so blessed that I was able to help Sergei along the path to the waters of baptism. We had members give talks on baptism and the Holy Ghost. It went really well. Sergei had to be dunked twice. I mean just look at him. He is a big guy. His toe came out of the water. I was able to be a witness. That was really neat. I could feel the Holy Ghost so strongly. There really isn't any better work on this Earth. It really is worth everything. It really hit me hard at his Baptism. Well after he was wet and we were ending the service the power went off right in the middle of the song. I just kind of stopped singing but all of the Ukrainians kept on singing so I pulled out the cell phone and used the flash light on it and continued on. Almost all the cell phones here have flash lights on them. anyway the baptism went well. Get this, Sergei and his family only had enough money to make it to the baptism and on their way to the baptism Tanya, Sergei's wife found 10 griven on the ground. That is just enough for them to travel back home. What a tender mercy of the Lord that was. He really does look after us when we do what he wants. Sergei is planning on being sealed to his wife and now his daughter sometime in the next year. Wow this is amazing; this will bless his family forever into eternity. Now that is rewarding.
