Our good friend and Institute class student, Mike, was baptized today. He is a choice soul and we are so happy for him!
This good man has attended church for quite a long time - as "recommended" by his girlfriend, a member in Ohio. We actually thought Mike was a member for months, until one night at one of our recent classes. (scroll down to see "Teaching - a Sacred Calling" Sept. 6 post for the story.)
Since that class, Mike has received the elders weekly for the missionary lessons and has been so receptive and excited about learning and living the gospel. We have been invited to attend some of those teaching sessions and have witnessed the spirit at work in Mike's life.
TWO BAY SHORE BISHOPS
Current bishop Rathgeber, left, and former bishop Pombonyo, of the Bay Shore Ward visit at Mike's baptism social on Sunday afternoon. These are good, faithful leaders who love and serve the people.
Elders Bird and Wiggins taught Mike the gospel lessons over the last several weeks. Elder Bird (left) gave a marvelous talk in Sacrament Meeting on the scriptures and will be transfered this week. We'll miss him greatly.
Our Bay Shore Sisters
Sisters Balimuttajjo and Kevan are dedicated to missionary work. They love people and help and serve in every capacity imaginable.
