Dad's First Baptism!

Belthguun Tamer is 8 years old.
We went to the Church knowing he was going to be baptized, what we didn't know was that he wanted Dad to baptize him!
He likes Dad because Dad gives him candy, sometimes.

Belthguun, his brother Altangeral and their mother, Sardanchemic are members of the Church.
The water was so cold!
Dad had to pick him and carry him into the water!
He wouldn't get in!
But, with the temperature outside at 102 degrees,
they said it felt good, after they dried off!
Dad was glad that it was not required that he give the prayer
in Mongolian, although,
the Elders were teasing him that he would.
Elder Batsaikhan made a cute comment -
"It's good, because it looks like a Grandpa and his Grandson!"
Elder Sukhbold, (L) is the District Leader, he has been in Choibalsan for one week.
Elder Batsaikhan, (R) is the same Elder that held on to the camel, trying to buck Trish off.
They are both good Elders and good workers.
I forgot to tell everyone - We love You!
The Lord is so kind,
and we are so grateful for his little tender mercies!
