Alfredo's Getting Baptized

This is the most exciting work on the earth. The elders asked if they could bring an investigator over for family home evening. Well, of course... we said, we would love it. They didn't tell us that he has been on and off with different elders for six years.
During the lesson he was telling us about his experiences with these missionaries. I asked Terry to ask him why he hadn't been baptized. While he was telling us... President Turk invited him to be baptized and he said YES! The missionaries about fell over. This was not expected tonight. Alfredo then went on to bear a strong testimony about the promptings he has felt from his Heavenly Father.
There was much more sharing and a few tears were shed. We are all children of a loving Heavenly Father. All we have to do is ask, and our Heavenly Father will answer sincere prayers. This is His work and His glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man... We feel so Blessed to be here and to be a part of His work!
Elder Reina and Elder Hunsaker will baptize Alfredo a week from Thursday after we are all back from our road trip.
