Jay Family Missionaries

This week we baptized a 12-year-old youngman named Álvaro. His mom and older sister are members, but he and wasn't and his dad, Claudio isn't yet. All of Claudio's family are also members except for him and his dad but both of them went to church yesterday to watch the baptism. It was a really special baptism and everyone got a little emocional and Álvaro's dad and grandpa hugged us and said thankyou. We baptized the son, now we need to baptize the dad and grandpa.

A couple we are teaching, Danilo e Cintia, also stayed to watch the baptism. We invited them earlier in the week to be baptized April 1st. Danilo wants to be baptized, but Cintia is afraid of her family and Danilo doesn't want to be baptized without his wife. They are great people and will definitley be leaders after their baptism, they have already told several time that they want their future son to be a missionary.

There is another man here named Gerson whose wife is the Relief Society President. He has had contact with the church for more than 20 years, but hasn't been baptized yet. He already knows alot about the church so on Friday we talked with him about temples and eternal families. His wife cried and told us how much she wanted to be sealed in the temple with her husband and daughter. We asked Gerson why he doesn't go to the temple and be sealed with his family and he said that only members can go to the temple and he isn't a member yet. He emphasized the yet. We also read a little from President Uchtdorf's talk "Your Privilege, Your Potential" and told him that is living way below his potential and invited him to be baptized on the 8th. He said he will think about it. It will take a miracle, but I really think he will be baptized soon. There are a lot of men here aren't members, but whose wives are members and weare working to baptize them. They are progressing slowly.

Anyway gotta go,

Elder Tom Jay
