Baptisms

Maria Sumathi Kristy was baptized by her husband Emmanual Kristy. We were able to help the Elders teach the discussions to Sister Sumathi. She dressed in her very best sari and jewelry for her baptism. The Kristy's were married right after we came to Bangalore. They attended our Family Relations Class and then we were asked to help teach her the discussions.

This is the Baptism of Mark- 16 year and his Mother Maria, Dad-Harry was not baptized that day but he has had the discussions and gave his permission for the baptism of his Wife and Son. The Elders are Garcia and Singh; both elders are from US but Elder Singh is Indian. His grandparents came from India. These are two of the Elders that came to our home on Sundays for lunch. Elder Singh is a Zone leader. We helped teach a couple of the discussions to Mark and Maria. Mark gave his first sacrament meeting talk with a member of the Area Presidency visiting! Maria is taking english lessons from the missionaries and keyboarding from us.
