Eric's gratitude #17

I'm grateful I was able to go to the baptism of two special girls of a family I used to home teach. I was intimidated by the assignment when I first got it, they were recently returning to church and had some huge challenges to overcome due to their choices and past mistakes. I asked The Lord for help and started visiting them regularly. It was a challenge but I tried to use charity do what the Savior would do. They still have a lot if challenges, and most likely always will, but there were moments during the baptism that were spiritually powerful. The mother said something to me after the baptism that I'm sure she was prompted to say because it was a tender mercy to a lingering question/struggle I have. It was a nice way to spend 30 min on a Saturday.
