A German Baptism in Spain

February has been a memorial month for Los Thompson. We have been working with a couple from Hamburg Germany, the wife was a member, but her husband, Rolf was not. We met them on their vacation in Mallorca last February, 2010. When they left for Hamburg in March 2010, we encouraged Rolf to read The Book of Mormon. Bro. Thompson bore his witness of its truthfulness and I wrote my testimony to him in an email. When they returned in November, we began our visits again, without too much progress. We decided to give up, but Bro. Scharsig became serious about studying the Book of Mormon. Elders Egan and Greep joined us in our meetings with them. They encouraged him to listen to his feelings. That made the difference. He accepted a baptismal date of February 19th.Elder Greep did the baptizing--in German, no less with Brother Thompson's coaching. The following day, Brother Thompson confirmed him in German. Pictured are elders Egan, Greep,and Farley with Rolf Scharsig.
