This weekend we went to Stake Conference and then Sunday evening we had the awesome experience of attending the baptism the Brandon
Lopez, his brother Gabriel Lopez, and Eva Portillo. The family has been
attending the Spanish Branch and Brandon (who is deaf) has been coming
to the Deaf Branch with his mom. The baptismal service was done all in
Spanish and then Bryce Tadd, who served a Spanish Speaking mission, and
who is now attending the Deaf Branch and studying to become an ASL
interpreter, interpreted the meeting from Spanish to American Sign
Language. It was really neat and the spirit was so strong. Brandon
was so excited to be baptized -- he was simply glowing. We were
thrilled for him and his family. Elder Lee was also really excited since he got to teach and baptism him. I am sure this is one of the
highlights of his mission. He was glowing too! We are excited to have Brandon in
our branch!
