We all met this morning at 8:00 am for the baptism of Zhe Jing. She has been coming to church with us. She was a room-mate of one of the BYU students this last semester. She is from Singapore, and can meet with us because she is foreign. She has been taking the discussions and reading the Book of Mormon.
We all met at the swimming pool of the Crown Plaza Hotel. As you can tell from the photo, we had to wait for the swimmers to clear out. We all stood around as we had a simple service. The spirit was so strong as we listened to a short talk on baptism, and then Brother Yu baptized Zhe Jing. The Second Counselor of the China District was able to come with his wife, and they even brought a baptism dress.
Today in Sacrament Meeting, Zhe Jing was confirmed. It was a beautiful blessing. She was asked to bare her testimony later in the meeting, and her testimony was amazing! She bore witness of the truth of the Book of Mormon, not only as a spiritual guide for our lives, but it is the word of God. Her testimony was so direct. I would have never guessed she just got baptized today, her testimony is so strong.
Our family feels so blessed to see the gospel grow in our little group here in Nanjing.
