Elder and Sister Coleman had come for a visit before they leave for home on Tuesday. Brother Burris asked that Elder Coleman do the baptism, which thrilled him to end his mission with a baptism after spending several months in the mission office. They are hiking down to the river where the baptism will be held.
Grandpa was waiting for everyone to arrive and he was enjoying the beauty of the spot when James and John decided to join him. The three of them chatted, unaware we were watching!

Brother Burris on the way to his baptism. He is going to be a strength to the branch.
Theresa, 16, was baptized in this same place in September. She is a seminary student. Anderson just turned 2 and Alicia Williams has been a member since January. She, too, was baptized in this same place, she is the mom of the family.

"Why did you use the river instead of the ocean? "Jack wants to know "
Do you have a Christmas tree?" Sam wants to know.
Does brother Burris need a white shirt? The boys really want to help with this.
Blake wants to know how small the ants were in your cereal?
We let the person being baptized choose the location. It is right by their home.
We don't have a tree, just a wreath and table cloth with a candle.
Brother Burris has a white shirt.
The ants are just big enough to see. They are smaller than the sweet ants that we are familiar with. We haven't had much of a problem with them here yet.
