Darlene & Doug take the Eternal Plunge!

So I posted a few back, how my sister-in-law and her husband, Doug, decided to be baptized. Well, they did it!! Doug even postponed his first round of chemo so he could go. They weren't going to stop him he said!


Bradley actually missed the last day of school so he could drive 11 hours, with Danny to Pie Town, New Mexico to be there for the big event. I was glad the 2 of them could spend some time together, especially at such a spiritual even as Bradley will be receiving the Priesthood next month.


When they got there, Darlene surprised Danny by asking her to baptize and confirm her! They said it was a wonderful event. They have a small brach there, 30 people. They do have a chapel, a very small chapel. Bradley was so amazed. The cultural hall wasn't much bigger than our living room with the font. They went to church with them the next day. There were like 30 people there. Still, I think it was neat to see that even in a small town of 500 people, you can find the church with people, kind and gracious and caring as anywhere else and being taught the same thing. Bradley and Danny were practically glowing when they came home!
We are all praying for Doug and Darlene that they will be able to make it to the next step, the temple!
Unfortuantely, Danny forgot to take any pics at the baptism but here are some of the scenery on the way there. An experience to remember! (hope you posted it in your own journal, Brad)
