Holly & Vanessa's Baptism






July 7th was a very special day as Holly and Vanessa Cochrane were baptized. We really love the Cochrane family. They are our family away from home. Belinda (the mom) has cooked us a lot of meals and we love to be in the company of everyone in the family.

Holly is 18 and just finished High School she is very bright and understands the gospel very well. Vanessa is 14 and has just started going to Seminary. She has a nice voice and likes to sing and play the guitar.

We were able to participate in most of their lessons with Elder Butters and Elder Hall. The picture with all the elders shows many of the Elders who helped teach the girls. Elder Orton and Elder Glazier taught Bob Cochrane so the girls sat in on those discussions and Elder Thrift was there the night the girls accepted the invitation to be baptized.

A mission really doesn’t get any better than this, seeing two lovely sisters baptized and seeing their happiness and joy. It is a great blessing!

One photo of our Blue Mountains was added by mistake but I decided to leave it in as we do work in a beautiful area.
