Yesterday

(This is a post from Doug's Mission President's Wife. You can read her blog at

This is Segundo and his family.

He is the security guard at the Institute downtown.

His wife has been a less active member for a long time.

He had been given many Book of Mormons by the institute students.

He had listened in on many of the classes.

But to no avail.

The Missionaries were passing by his house one day

and his wife was outside and asked if they had any pamphlets for 

Segundo to read

while he was in the hospital recovering from surgery.

They of course had several, they gave her and they were on their way.

They followed up with the family

and he had read the pamphlets and wanted to hear more.

Segundo knew that it was time to make a change in his life

and get his family on the right path together. He and his daughter were baptized yesterday by Elder Erikson and Elder Brian. 

The church is not an obligation

It is a path... to a glorious destination.
