Sherrie and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary on the 20th of April and Sherrie wanted to do something to surprise me. She asked two students in our institute class to help her put on a special Dominican dinner for me. They were so excited and planned secretly for 3 weeks. One of the girls came to me and asked to open the room where they have the music keyboards on the second floor and said she needed to get something for her class. I walked into a room with a path of flower petals to the table which had a traditional dish, mofongo, and fruit. It was very good. The girls had also made a CD of one of the Carpenter’s songs and some other Dominican music and played it in the background. They decorated with some pictures that they had made and some of the other youth came and sang to us. We danced a little and had a wonderful time. The kids were so happy to be part of our anniversary. It was a wonderful surprise.
We have also had the opportunity be participate in some more baptisms for youth in the institute. We have now had 6 from the first of the year.
One young man, Nathaniel, was talking to us before the baptism that had he known what the gospel was all about before, he would have joined the church much sooner. He has been attending institute for over a year and no one had invited him to hear the missionary discussions.
