There are few places where the spirit is more strong than at a convert baptism.

David and I have been involved with two of these baptisms since we have been in the Ellsworth ward. Both were non-member women married to less active husbands. As the husbands became active, the wives followed, changed their lives and were baptized.

I keep thinking of the husband baptizing his wife, the children observing. As the wife emerged from the water, she reached up to her husband and gave him this amazing look and hugged him. This said it all. The room was electric with the spirit. They had gone through this journey together and arrived at the same place. Lots of love and lots of sacrifice. Lots more to come.

It is a poignant reminder of the blessing the gospel brings to our lives and never to lose sight of it.
