Monte's Baptism


 Scott's letter today:
Monte got baptized. I had the privilege of baptizing him personally so it was a pretty great experience. I'll attach the baptismal picture. It's a pretty festive picture if I do say so myself. It was definitely a festivus miracle
   He has been telling us about Monte for awhile, Scott has really gotten attached to him.
This is from a earlier letter

  “We knocked into this old guy a couple weeks ago named Monte Ross.  I think I mentioned him last email.  We've been teaching him, and we had a really good lesson on Friday and set a solid date for him to be baptized because he's been really iffy about it.  He said that once he knew the Book of Mormon was true he would be baptized.  Then he texted us (a 72 year old guy, texts us all the time, like a teenage girl!) on Saturday and said that he was ready to be baptized.  AWESOME.  He used to be a preacher for the Church of Christ - those guys are way hard to preach the gospel to.  So yeah, we're baptizing a church of Christ preacher.  We're his 5th set of missionaries to teach him, and he finally wants to be baptized.”
