Baptisms

Dear Mother and Father,

So, you most likely got my email, which means I don't have a lot more to tell you about besides the awesome line-up of baptisms.

We have six...yes, count it, six people that are on date for baptism! Our first totally amazing baptism is Darlene. She is the mother to Brandi (a recent convert) and grandmother to Brandi (Brandi's daughter who is also a recent convert) and at first, she wasn't interested. BOO! But when she heard about the temple, she decided to listen in. When she asked Elder Stringham if she could go to the temple, he said, "Only if you get baptized." Her response was "...Okay!"

The second baptism, which is on the same day, is Casey Cottey. He came to youth group with a friend and afterwards, Elder Wager and the super-hot friend took him on a church tour. He totally wanted to get baptized but his mom was against it. After she talked to us, though, she changed her mind, is letting Casey be baptized and is interested herself! Woot!

The following week, we have four UBC's (un-baptized children)! Ali, whose mom is a less-active member, is super excited about baptism. Our miracle, Tito, who was adopted and is nine. A recent convert wanted all her grandchildren to be baptized, and one just turned eight. And Cordillia wants to follow in her brother's footsteps and be baptized! These are ALL miracles!!!

Well, I love you all, and I pray you're all doing great! Love, hugs and handshakes to you all.

Elder Courtney Casselman

p.s. Stringham came up with this idea: You could email me, but print off the email so I can read it before P-day!

p.p.s. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
