Thursday afternoon we call Tony after not hearing from him for
almost a week. He says he's got something he wants to talk to us about. "Oh, great," we say, 'he got anti-ed'. Turns out he'd been doing some
research and came across blacks and the priesthood. (He's a big black
guy, likes his flowers. Tulips are his favorite, fyi.) So we sit down
and pull out Official Declaration II, talk about it, and have an
incredible spiritual experience. We were all crying by the end of it.
Then we find out it was his wife's concern, not his so much. We
didn't get to speak with her that time, she had a migraine or something. Later that week we find out that our ward mission leader and his wife
went over and talked to them and Bobby's concern got resolved. The ward
mission leader arranged to get his son to pick up the whole family. Tony
was the only one who made it, but at least he did make it. The ward
embraced him and in priesthood opening exercises he bore his testimony
about us. The short of it is, He's getting baptized. :D We're super excited.
Go Naomi! Piano scholarship, playing an 'organ' (liver, lungs?
lower intestine?), making dad cry, and playing dead. All in a day's
(week's) work for my sister. Go get 'em.
Thanks for your love and support. I can't tell you how much that means to me. Thanks for your continued prayers.
Love you guys! Thanks for all you do!
Love from your favorite
Elder Brown
