Well this weekend was a very wonderful and rewarding weekend! We had the opportunity to go to the South to see Vagner's mom get married and baptized. This is a day that we have been waiting for for so long.
When Vagner was first baptized in 2003 his mom told him she didn't want anything to do with the church and even told him that if he joined he would have to leave home. Well, even though he knew what he had to do it was very hard on him because he loved his mom. When Vagner decided to serve a mission the situation got even worse. With no support from his mom and being the only member in his family he went off to do the Lord's work. Vagner faithfully wrote his mom every week, in return he only received about 5 letters at the most. When he got home from his mission his two brothers and sister who were of baptism age were baptized. Yet, his mom was still not ready to be baptized, however, Vagner never left without hope. What a wonderful day it was when Vagner's mom called to say she was going to be baptized. I have never seen Vagner so excited. We of course knew we had to go to support her. On April 24th Vagner had the long awaited and wonderful opportunity to baptize his mom.
Like Nikki and grandma well put it, maybe there are reasons that visa's are delayed. I guess the Lord really does always know what he is doing!
