Jonathan's Baptism Continued

One thing I neglected to mention regarding the recent baptism of John's friend, is that John had the opportunity to bear his testimony at the baptism. This took a lot of courage for him because it was standing room only in the relief society room. He was the only English-speaking talk in the meeting. Ironically, it was also the only thing his friend probably understood in the baptismal service. Despite the fact that his family speak Spanish, his friend really doesn't understand it. The branch performed the baptismal service in Spanish for the benefit of the family and for his cousin who is also getting baptized and only speaks Spanish.

John did an excellent job during his testimony and I'm sure it meant a lot to his friend. Were very happy that John was willing to do that very difficult thing. He is going to make a powerful missionary someday.
