Remember Me and I Will Remember You

Pietru Ursuleasa is one of the workmen on the temple. A couple of months ago he came into our office to pick up a picture David had taken of him while he was working. While he was there David took him in to see the site model. He really loved seeing the model of the temple and took some information home to read.

 Later David asked him if he had read it and he said he had and would love to come to church with us. Since he started he has not missed a Sunday. 

From the beginning he told the missionaries, if this was true he would be baptized. On Saturday evening that happened. :) Pietru got baptized.

During his last discussion and while we were planning his baptism, we were talking about  the sacrament and the importance of remembering Christ and our covenants.  And Pietru kind of stopped everyone and said... Well, it's like the Book of Mormon says, "Remember Me, and I will Remember You."

 So I decided to title this post after his words. :)

To us, the Temple itself has had it's first baptism... He is the first of the workers on the temple to accept the gospel.

It's been a pleasure watching the conversion process and seeing Pietru gladly accept the gospel. He loves it and is very active.

Happy Mother's Day to Everyone.

Much Love, David and Carolyn
