Baptism Today

This is a photo of Daiki with the Elders Arnold & Jacobson, who taught him most of his discussions.  The photo was taken about a week ago.  Today Daiki was baptized by Elder Jacobson and confirmed by Elder Arnold.  Daiki is going to school at Kagoshima University.  He came to English conversation class to learn English.  Prior to going to college, he had a friend who introduced him to Christianity.  He was quite interested in learning more about Christ but when he went off to college, his appetite to learn of Christ was put on hold.  However, coming to English class afforded him opportunity to learn English and once again explore Christianity.  This all started near the end of January and in just 2 short months, he was baptized like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  It was a beautiful day, much like the weather seen in this photo.  Sister Lee and I played a little part in Daiki's life these past 2 months.  Daiki would ride the tram from University to the station at the bottom of the hill going up to our church building.  We would pick him up along with the Elders and drive them up to the church.  We noticed Elder Arnold would always bring a white dress shirt on a hanger with a tie so Daiki can wear it for church, because Daiki never went to church before and never had a reason to own a white shirt.  During our last apartment checks, we went to one of Elders' apartments and they had these extra clothing left in a room, clean clothing that other missionaries had left behind when they transferred.  The extra clothing was just cluttering up their apartment, so we took them away to donate to others and to declutter their apartment.  I found 3 white shirts and thought they would fit Daiki.  Sure enough, they fit perfectly.  How wonderful it is to see the Lord's hands to make this all happen.
