October 11, 2009

Today I attended the baptism of my two friends, Martin and Grace Oladele. It is very special to see two people come to America and find what they have been looking for in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I took Grace to the Oquirrh Temple open house and while we were in the car I talked to her about the church and told her that we don't drink coffee. She and Martin quit drinking coffee that day. She loves to give her time at Welfare Square. I was able to help her get a job at the Utah State Fair for 12 days. I'm still trying to get her a permanent job. One of the reasons that they were baptized is because the LDS people put their arms around them and loved them into the gospel. They are happy we don't discriminate against them. The other lady in the picture is a friend from their ward.





May camera doesn't take very good pictures of black people. They are very happy to be members of the true church.
Last week I worked for two days in a lunch room at a junior high. I was hoping it was going to be a good job for me because I like all the days off that I would get working in the school. I'm going to quit tomorrow because it is too hard on my back.
