Uncle Jim (one of our favorite uncles)has been a Catholic all his life and throughout many years of living among LDS people and being loved by them...he finally chose to be baptized last Sept. It was an amazing day! When he came up out the the water... a cheer went up in the room! It was awesome! Everyone clapped and hollered! It wasn't quite the moment you would have expected but they joy we felt was unbelievable! I am sure heaven was cheering too! Everyone knew it would happen some day but to finally see it was a true miracle! To have him finally embrace the gospel has been so wonderful to witness! Aunt Geniel had faith it would happen and finally they were blessed with two darling sister missionaries that final "GOT HIM"! He promised them that he would have them flown in to witness their sealing... but they were both still in Utah! So on September 28, 2009 in the Provo Temple ~ Jim and Geniel were sealed for Time and all Eternity! Their daughter Jenny also went through the temple and was sealed to them as well as their son Jimmy that died several years ago.It was one of those days that you hope and pray for!

These are the cute missionaries that finally got him to commit!
