Baptism
Remember that sweet 90 year old lady that I posted about back in February. Well, her son baptized her on 5/5. I was asked to give a spiritual thought during the baptism program the night before. I scrambled to put together a short talk and then proceeded to translate it to Japanese with Sister Lee's help. I was going to say it in Japanese but time ran out. I just didn't have enough time to practice saying it. So we fell back on original plan, which is I say it in English, and Sister Lee translate into Japanese. Since the Japanese part is already typed up, Sister Lee just had to read it. A member came up afterwards and said Sister Lee sounded so professional (she didn't realize Sister Lee had a cheat sheet). So maybe next time I'll finally give a talk in Japanese. Afterwards we were invited to a member's home along with the sister who got baptized and her son for dinner to celebrate her baptism. When I get copies of the some of the photos taken during dinner, I'll post them.
