"Frank Baptized His Mother"

Our daughter, Nicole and her husband Frank were married in the Salt Lake Temple just one month before our first mission to Brazil five years ago. Frank had joined the church about eight years ago and was the only member in his family...until Saturday November 8 when he baptized his mother.

Frances moved from Ohio last year and she has been attending church with Frank and Nicole - all the meetings, reading, paying her tithing, etc. Then she began having lessons with the missionaries several weeks ago.

One night the missionaries challenged her to baptism and asked her to pray about it and told her that they would do the same. She did. That night she had a dream in which she saw her deceased husband, Frank's dad, just sitting in a chair "somewhere that looked like it could have been heaven." He just sat there, saying nothing, as if he were just waiting for Frances to take care of something - "so he and our family could progress" she said.

The following night the missionaries returned and told her that they felt prompted to set her baptism for Nov 8 - just one week away. She started to cry. When they asked her if there was a problem, she told them about her dream and that she was hoping the baptism would be soon.

Frances was baptized by her only child, Frank, and is thrilled to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in her life! She looks forward to going to the temple and then having her husband's work done and their family sealed forever.

What a lovely lady! We love you Frances.
