It was such a fun evening being in the temple with Kathryn Padgett who did baptisms for the first time! She was baptized a week ago and the missionaries were able to attend with her. (Once a month they have this opportunity to go to the temple with a recent convert.) The Mission President, President Collins, performed all the baptisms! I think this is such a neat thing to do! We saw A LOT of missionaries there and it was fun to see elders that have served in our ward in the past! (Elder Manalansang and Elder Hopkins) It made me get excited about Brooke's mission being around all those missionaries--especially the sisters! That missionary spirit is contagious! Katelyn also went with us because she was wanting to do baptisms as well, so she got to be a part of all that, as well! I'm so glad she got to go with us! After, the elders didn't have anywhere to go for dinner, so we took them out to dinner at Dickies. They said they wanted BBQ, and Kristen Maskovich said it was good BBQ. It tasted wonderful to me! It was really enjoyable to visit with the missionaries at dinner and to get to know them a little better. One of them is from Germany! (I can't remember his name. The other one is Elder Johnson from Florida.) I'm so grateful for the opportunity that just fell into our lap today, to attend the temple with this sweet sister. She had such a great experience doing these baptisms and I'm so glad that we got to be a part of it!!!
