About 3 1/2 years ago we met a Spanish speaking family in our neighborhood who's boys wanted to go to church. Matt (since he did all of the talking with them) offered to take the boys with us. Edgar (12 at the time) and Duvan (8 at the time) went to church with us for a couple of months. Because of the busy summer and Bailee being born transportation arrangements became hard. We have kept in touch with the family and they have since moved to a new neighborhood. A few weeks ago we were told by a friend of ours that Edgar (15) and Duvan(12) were now taking the discussions. A week or two later we learned that they had committed to be baptized. Today we had the special opportunity to attend their baptisms. Duvan's face was priceless when he saw us come into the church. We are so glad that we have had the opportunity to be a part of their lives. These boys and their family will always have a special place in our hearts. Matt and I are so proud of the choice that they have made and know that our Father in Heaven is pleased as well.

This is so exciting, Tami. Ben and I know Edgar from band at the High School. We will have to tell him how proud we are of him.
That is so great.
I am so happy for both of them. You will have to tell them that their old neighbors said congratulations.
Those are always such special moments when you are a witness to someone embracing the gospel. That is awesome!
