A Wonderful Baptism

This evening we attended a wonderful Baptism.  The baptism of Ganbat, his wife Naransetseg, daughters, Battsetseg, Badmaarag, and son Gendendaram.  They will be newest members of the new Jargarlaant Branch ( Happiness Branch).

This wonderful family became interested in the church through their daughter Battsetseg.  Battsetseg was attending the free English classes taught at the Bayanzurkh building and was impressed with the teachers.  She said they were so caring and bright and dedicated.  We taught one of the sessions, every Tuesday evening.  Her father wondered about a church that would teach free English lessons and about the people his daughter was talking about.  He decided to call and find out.

So one evening the Elders, Elder Stanley and Elder Higgs had been fasting to find investigators.  They had no one to teach and then they received the call from Ganbot.  The Elders have been teaching this family for over two months.  The family has been very eager to learn.  They have been faithfully attending Church every Sunday, since they began the lessons.

When they learn a principle they have had enough faith to try it.  A little while ago they learned about fasting and of course prayer.  They applied it when they heard that transfers were happening and they were not quite ready for baptism.  They fasted and prayed that  Elder Stanley and Elder Higgs would be able to stay in the branch so that they could continue to teach them and baptize them. The Elders were able to stay and do that.

It was wonderful to hear their testimonies tonight.  All testified of the power of prayer and how their prayers have been answered.  They testified of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.  They testified of how they have changed and how their family life has changed for the better.  We love them and will continue to pray for them, that they will continue to grow and develop more in the gospel.

It was wonderful to see all of the support of the branch members at the baptism.  Truly this is the Happiness branch!
