Baptism

Today was Vanessa Tagacay's baptism! It was really nice and lot's of people came. She is such a sweet  person and has really studied and prepared herself. She is kind of quiet but just has that peaceful inner strength to her that is so admirable. I guess you call that the Spirit; she just seems to have it. She bore a nice testimony. Her husband is the elders quorum presidents son and has been less active for a long time but has been faithfully coming back. He's kinda quiet too but a really good guy. They can't wait to go to the temple. There were also 2 children baptized. Aliaza Ritual, who is being raised by her grandmother because her parents are "missing in action" , and Edgar Rosales, who has taken a special shine to Sister Gwilliam and gives her a big hug every time he sees her. Little Aliaza bore her testimony and it was so sweet, she just sobbed the whole time but bore a powerful testimony of Joseph Smith and of the gospel. It was a truly inspiring baptism!
