Following the example of Jesus Christ

There is nothing that makes missionaries happier than baptisms.  So when you get 5 in one meeting our joy is overflowing.  Then add to that a family being brought into the Kingdom of God we felt the angels shout for joy.  The elders in Brunswick Georgia worked hard and with the Spirit to guide these wonderful people to the waters of baptism. 
We love you all.
The elders in this picture are:  Elder Bass (on the left), Elder Pelo (kneeling),
Elder McFarland (middle) and Elder Bishop ( on the right). 
But the stars are the Traxler family.  Todd and Danielle are the parents. 
They are next to Elder Bass. 
Their daughters are next to them, Erika Ball and little Lexi.  Then the sweet sister on the right is Stephanie Twitty.  She is Danielle's sister and she is holding her two children. 
Families are forever
All the elders in the district sang a musical number, "I Know That My Redeemer Lives". 
Elder Maxfield, Elder Bass, Elder Mourra, Elder Reiche, Elder McFarland,
 Elder Bishop, Elder Pelo and Elder Cundick. 
 It was beautiful and filled with the spirit.
