Baptisms in Rome!

Guiseppe D'Amore is 82 years old and he was just baptized!  

He is very sweet and soft spoken.  He was very interested in Eternal Families!

This is Sorella Perez and his family.

This is Lorenzo Loverde, (left), Michelanglo (on the right), who was just baptized a few months ago.  Lorenzo was baptized last November (2011).  I can't remember the name of the guy in the middle.....

This is Guiseppi Macario.  He was baptized a couple of months ago.  He is actually a young adult, but he just moved to Milano.

This is Floridana Flores.  She is from Honduras.  She has four children and they are all members of the Church.  She was never interested in the Church while she was living in Honduras.  In fact, the missionaries tried to meet with her and she refused to meet with them.  She would always tell them "no".  Then she moved to Italy, without her children.  She noticed something was missing in her life.  She couldn't figure out what she was missing.....until one day she had a feeling.....she was missing the missionaries!!!!  She took the missionary lessons and was baptized without telling her children!  After she was baptized, she called her children, and told them the happy news!!!

This is Alberto Garcia.  He has been attending our Institute classes for 5 or 6 months.  We have really enjoyed getting to know him.  He is an attorney!  Alberto is 28 years old and very sweet.  Anziano Krueger was asked to baptize him on October 20, 2012.  We had a wonderful day!

We are so thankful we are able to participate in these wonderful baptisms!  The people really do change and they are happier!  Alberto is kind of quiet, but when he was listening to General Conference a few weeks ago, the Tabernacle Choir starting singing and he had never heard them sing before.  The Spirit was so strong....  He started to cry!  This is the first time, Alberto had really felt the Spirit!!!

These are the missionaries that help teach Alberto.  (Left) Sister Clark, Anziano Davids, Alberto, Anziano Telaroli and Sister Heiner.

This is Anziano Krueger, Dima Scotchi and Marcos Bendezu'.  Both of these young men are young adults who come to our Institute class.  This picture was taken after Alberto was baptized.
