Tony has been attending the ward for several years.
Sister Withers and I
finally were able to help him get the confidence he needed to quit
smoking, cut his hair and get baptized. Wow. It's amazing what can
happen
when you have Heavenly Father on your side. Tony has completely changed
his life around... It is something he could have never done without
Him (Heavenly Father). The Tone-ster (Tony) was baptized today... It was
a really sweet experience. Tony is such a funny guy, I wish everyone
could meet him. We have these things called "Tony-isms" (aka.. funny
things he says) We love him so much, and I think that is what he
needed... Missionaries who would love him and be patient with him. To
sort of "Thank us.." The Tone-ster made us some Chili... Guess what
kind?....COON chilli. (yep... thats right. Raccoon Chilli... How's THAT
for trying something weird on the mission?! haha) Half of our zone tried
a bite of it... it wasn't too bad. The Elders ended up taking the rest
with them. I couldn't mentally get myself to eat any more of that stuff
haha.
ANYWAYS
Tony's Baptizm...Sister Withers and I did a musical
number. She played the piano and I sang "Savior Redeemer of my Soul." It
is a beautiful song. It's in the movie 17 miracles I was so nervous to
sing in front of everyone, but it ended up going pretty well. A miamaid
in our ward played the violin along with us.
