Not your ORDINARY Halloween Day...

How excited we are! My sister Mindy and her husband went down to Utah for the weekend (beginning of August sometime). When they returned home, she called me and let me know that she gave our name to the missionaries for that dvd "Together Forever". She informed me that I would be getting a call from the Missionaries in Utah. I told her "Ok, thats fine." A few days later, sure enough my phone rings while I was at work. I didn't answer it cause I didn't recognize the number. They didn't ever leave a message either. Later that day the same number calls again. Well, they didn't leave a message the first time so I figured it wasn't very important, so I didn't answer....... No message. This went on for a few days and they wouldn't leave me alone. They started to call my sisters phone. Man, they were not giving up! They called again while I was on my lunch brake . I sat there looking at my phone trying to decide if I should answer or not. Well, I finally answered the call and sure enough..... It was the sister Missionaries from Utah. They wanted to know if it was ok if the missionaries in our area stopped by to bring us the dvd with a message. I told her yes and was pretty nervous to see what Billy would say when I told him..... A few days later we heard a knock on our door. It was the missionaries with a dvd in their hand. Billy was home, so we invited them in. We sat there and visited with them and we all kept asking questions back and forth. It was actually really neat. Before they left, they asked if it would be ok if they made another appointment to stop back another day to see us..... (this could go on n' on.... but I will get to the point and make it short) The missionaries have been coming to our house 1 to 2 days a week since that first visit w/ us in August. The Point: What did we do on Halloween? Billy was baptised! It was the most wonderful, calm, happy day I have had in a while. I am so excited for him. I want to THANK all of you who have been such an amazing example to him (& I). My family has been so amazing. All the descussions we have had with the family and all the support that was there for Billy. I don't think I can THANK each of you enough. What an amazing husband, best friend, companion Billy has been to me. I appreciate all that he does for me. THANK YOU again!
