Baptism of Tatiana

Right before I left for Chile, I got to witness the baptism of my dear friend in Argentina - Tatiana. I met Tatiana at a stake conference and invited her to come to institute with me. She had been meeting with the missionaries and we instantaneously became great friends.
She invited me to come to her baptism and even changed the date so that I could be there for her on her special day before I left.
I also was asked to speak and I spoke about the gift of the Holy Ghost.
I am so proud of Tatiana and her decision to be baptized. She is the only member now of the church in her family and her friends and family do not approve or her decision and sometimes make it hard for her. I am amazed by her strength and her courage to act of what she knows to be true, I love her.

That is so cool. I am Mormon. Sorry I did not do the play and how do you get that cool background on your blog?

Payton - no worries about the play. You did your part very well. It was unfortunate that you were feeling so sick. I got my background for the blog at "thecutestblogontheblock.com" it was a bit complicated, but after a few tries and following the directions really carefully I was able to do it.
