Bay Shore Ward's Newest Member

Congratulations Oscar!

Oscar with his two children Jennifer 13 and Chris 6, and Erika with her daughter, Kaylie 3, enjoy Oscar's baptism day Saturday April 25.

Oscar and Erika have been dating for two years during which time Erika, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as been trying to get Oscar to have the missionaries over to teach him. It wasn't until he met Sisters Frodsham and Burton that the Spirit touched to him. They are engaged to be married and all three children are delighted. They will live in Oscar's home in the Bay Shore ward after they marry.

"These sisters are just amazing," said Ocsar at his baptismal service. He bore a powerful testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel and the Book of Mormon. And he also told of how he thought he had been a good man in his life, but now he noticed ways he wanted to improve and people he wanted to exemplify.


Many friend and family from Erika's ward were in attendance for support and to participate in the service. Ward members brought refreshments for a social after the baptism. Oscar's daughter, Jennifer (in denim jacket) and her friend Destiny (in yellow shirt) are taking the missionary lessons now and are attending Church regularly.

Chris waits patiently while his dad cuts the adorable CTR (Choose The Right) cake made my a member of our ward.

Oscar was baptized by Erika's uncle and confirmed Sunday in Sacrament meeting by Elder de Paula. President Bennion gave a few closing remarks at the baptismal service and mentioned what a great contribution Oscar and his family will make to this Church. This was a good weekend for Bay Shore.
