Last Saturday we headed to Tabuk to witness the baptisms of a wonderful family. The parents had been visiting lots of churches trying to find one that they thought was right for their family. Their daughter had gone to the LDS church with cousins in another town. She kept urging her parents to visit the LDS church in Tabuk. When the mother first stepped into our church she said all the hair on her arms stood up, she felt electrified. Soon after they sought out the missionaries to teach them more about the doctrine and last weekend the father, mother and daughter were baptized. There was such a wonderful feeling in that little chapel. They were all smiling broad smiles and we were so fortunate to be able to share this day with them.
Elder Dela Cruz and Elder Benosa were able to teach and baptize this wonderful family.
After the baptisms the family shared their precious testimonies with us.
This is the darling girl who felt the spirit urging her to visit our church. I'm so grateful her parents listened to her.
This was our first time to visit Tabuk. It's up above the vast valley and the drive is quite spectacular.
There are a few rice terraces before the town and I was enthralled by the darling bamboo and grass home at the edge of the terraces.
We left the baptism and headed back to Cauayan in order to witness the baptism of another wonderful family and a few single adults. The spirit was equally precious at this baptism. This family had been studying and visiting our church for many years and finally they were baptized.
This beautiful family with their two daughters were so excited to be baptized. They are a very special family!
