Makiah's Baptism

We have had the priveledge of having the missionaries in our home to teach a part member family. Melynn used to work with Seth and he, being the great missionary he is, would talk to her about the gospel all the time. As he likes to call it, he wore her down slowly! :) He told her that she had to ask him "one mormon question a week". She would come back with great questions that got her really thinking about her life.
Well, the time was finally right and we had her and her kids over for the disscussions. Kaden, 12, we found out was baptized, but Makiah, 9, wasn't able to. Melynn didn't want her to be baptized until she was 18. Kaleb, 5, would come in some times for the lessons, but was more of a firend for Sam during our lessons.
The lessons were great. It was the first time Seth and I have been a part of the new disscussions. We both served our missions before the change. It was a wonderful experience and we learned a lot.
Elder Lloyd and Elder Keller were great teachers that brought a great spirit into our home. Elder Lloyd was able to share some amazing stories from his life that were able to really touch Melynn.
Melynn was able to feel the spirit and remember believing when she was younger. Her heart softened and wanted her daughter to be baptized. She was able to be baptized this last Sunday, just a few days before Elder Lloyd finished his mission.
We had a great party for Meylnn and Makiah at our house after the baptism and most of Melynn's family was able to be here. It was overwhelming to meet and talk with here parents and see their gratitude to Seth for helping their daughter come back to the church. I will never forget their faces and their spirits. It was one of the most special times for me and especially Seth.
