For those of you who are not LDS, in order to join the church, investigators take their time learning and growing until they are prepared to make a covenant (promise) manifest through baptism and confirmation. We have become good friends with Victor Rodriquez over the last year as he has been investigating the church, as he has come over for lunches after church, and for discussions with the missionaries, etc. I am the ward mission leader have become quite close to Victor personally. The story of Vic's change and making a decision to lead a Christ centered life is beautiful and miraculous. On Saturday Vic was baptized into the LDS church and was confirmed today in sacrament meeting. We are so proud of Vic for this huge step in his life.
If any who reads this blog are interested in learning more about the LDS faith, please let us know. It has brought much peace and joy into our lives as well as giving us a sense of purpose. During this Christmas season, what a joy it is to remember the birth of Jesus, who changed the world forever by allowing us to be free from sin and death.
We wish all our friends and family a Merry Christmas!

After hearing the strength of your testimony, I expected that Blogger's site would crash from the numbers of people inquiring about the LDS faith. Guess I was wrong, eh? Your name will always be remembered by Victor and his family in the future. My kids know all about Elder Paleka - even though some of them never met him.
