On October 16th, we made it back from Kampong Cham in time for this baptism. I had previously gone teaching with the sisters to teach the sister who is a member and her two sons after baptism lessons. Her husband would listen in. They own an electrical shop called Teresa's Electrical. We were in the back of the shop teaching, he would tend to the shop then come and listen, back and forth. His wife whispered in my ear, "Please talk to my husband."
After the lesson, I had an opportunity to visit with him. At the end of our conversation and after I had listened to his philosophies, I had opportunity to encourage him to listen to the sisters. I told him they were good teachers and I hoped he would listen so that he could be baptized and have an opportunity to go to the Temple and have an Eternal Family. He looked at me and said, "I tell you what, Sister. If the Holy Ghost tells me to be baptized, then I will be baptized." Great, I said, I will pray for that! After his baptism, his wife came back into the room to wait for him, she looked at all of us there, and lilterally clapped her hands and jumped in the air for joy! Now, they are on their way to being together Forever.
Brother Saphon and his awesome wife were able to be there for her sister's baptism. The Saphon's have taken in this little girl to watch over. They call her their daughter. Great family and we do love them.
