More Baptisms in Monticello

We are excited to have Steve as our newest member of the church here in Monticello. He is a great guy and very excited about the church.
Steve's baptism was after church on Sunday. We had almost all the branch members stay and support him. I was asked to give the talk on Baptism and the Holy Ghost. Doug was sick today so he missed out on this wonderful event. We all enjoyed "break the fast - potluck afterwards.
Elder Shakspear & Elder Georges taught Brittney and Zack taught both Brittney and Zack Banks as well as Steve. Elder Georges has been transfered but came back for the baptisms. We miss you Elder Georges.

Saturday we had two baptisms. Brittney and Zack Banks. Their father Ty was at one time the Branch President of the Monticello Branch. For some reason they fell into inactivity, they were lost and now the are found. They are such a wonderful asset to our little branch. When Brittney was 8 years old, (5 years ago), she was scheduled to get baptized in a river. (This was before this chapel was built and there wasn't a font) One of the Elders had warned her to "watch out for the alligators". That scarred her so bad that she would not get into the water. Therefore, she was never baptized until last week end. We had probably had about 20 people at the baptism and brunch afterwards.
