Baptism

A long awaited baptism of Brother Fejeren, with his wife Bernie and Matt Smith

Tori Cepada who will soon be baptized was at the Baptism.  Posing with Sister Jones and ward member Christina Carulla.

The R.S. room where the baptism took place was packed,  the largest attendance we've seen at a baptism here.  So many people love the family and were happy that this long awaited event took place.  Our Bishop had to gently remind the attending congregation, that we don't applaud at Baptisms, but people were just overjoyed.  It was really very touching to everyone there.  Brother and Sister Ferjeren have 3 children in Provo attending school.  It was after midnight there when this baptism took place, but through the miracle of Skype, they were able to watch it and the oldest son gave the baptism talk which we watched on the TV.  And the end of his talk no one clapped, but there were few dry eyes.
