Oscar Gets Baptized

Heather and her companion saw the fruit of the labors this weekend as Oscar, the young single dad they have been teaching, was baptized. He has proposed to his girlfriend Erika, who is a member, and so they are working towards the Temple and being a forever family. Heather said Oscar bore his testimony after the baptism and it was powerful. He told how Erika had been trying for two years to get him to take the missionary discussions, but it wasn't until he met Sisters Frodsham and Burton that he felt the Spirit. Mission President Bennion made a few remarks at the baptism and expressed how much Oscar will add to the Bay Shore ward. After they are married, Oscar and Erika will live in Oscar's home in Bay Shore. Incidentally, his daughter Jennifer and her friend are now taking the lessons.
