Waters of Baptism

Greetings from Bonaire!

Last week on Saturday we had another baptism. Demi Holkenborg was finally able to be baptized. She has been coming to church and investigating for about 2 years. Her best friend Genesis Saragoza told her about repentance one day on the swings in the playground at school. From then on she began to come to church and her testimony gradually started to grow. 

She turned 18 on the 20th of November and was baptized on the 21st. Her parents would not give consent for her to be baptized, so she had to wait till she was of age.

She was so excited and ready. She asked the Sister Missionaries and me to sing at the service. We chose "Come Follow Me" and she wept as we sang. It was so sweet.

After the service at the church building we all drove to "Pink" Beach. It was sunset and as the sun sank into the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, Demi entered the waters of baptism and her sins were washed away and she was clean and ready to start her new life as a member of His church.

It was so beautiful. An occasion for rejoicing as one of God's children accepted the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The next day Elder VV was asked to confirm her a member of the Church of Jesus of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to give her the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

  

How blessed we feel to be part of these incredible events.
