Great Reunion

Went to the Temple this morning with our Zone we've been so blessed to have the opportunity to go to the Temple so often.It was really neat while we were at the temple we met a group of people from Indonesia. They were there for their first time a group of 12 with a missionary couple from Heber City named Rasband .One fellow was getting  sealed to his wife who was deceased and they were doing lots of other work for their family.After we left the temple we went to Mandaluyong which is on the way home to see if we could find a family I baptized 35 years ago.A couple of weeks ago I woke up in the night and remembered the address of this family- #48 Marivales st.Well we googled mapped it and we found it! I was so excited! We knocked on the gate and a 15 year old boy comes out and I asked if this was Leveriza's house. He got a funny look on his face said just a minute and ran back inside. Pretty soon he comes back and invites us in{the Paddocks, another missionary couple were with us}. There at the door is Joy Leveriza,48, who was a 13 year old girl 35 years ago when I baptized her and her family! It was so great! At first we didn't recognize each other but we soon figured it out.Hard to describe the feelings,needless to say there were a few tears.So she filled me in on the family.There was Alice, an aunt, who was 50 when we met them who has now passed away.Lilian, another aunt,was 30,who is now married and is a Relief society president in California.Joy' father,Jorge,has also died.Her older brother Joel, was 17, served a mission, married and has also passed away.Brother Jay also served a mission and is living in Cainta so hope to see him sometime.Younger sister Jean also lives not far away. Joy married a nonmember who works on a ship and only comes home about once a year.She has not been very active and her 2 boys have not been baptized but interestingly the oldest one,Jorge,15, who met us at the gate, went to church last weekend with a friend who had just been baptized!It's almost scary how the Lord goes before us and prepares the way.Anyway they pulled out some pictures and we talked and cried and bore testimony and had a big hug at the end and it was great.I think she was really touched by the Spirit and will go back to church and the boys want to.Awesome!Incidently the Paddocks know the Elder assigned to Mandaluyong, said he is the best and so we'll get him working with them.
