I feel like throughout our mission I have learned so many things about Elder Anderson that I had not learned in the previous forty three years of our marriage!! It was a very tender experience when we visited with Brother Lukas and Sister Endang last Saturday night. Brother Lukas is hesitant to baptize his grandson because he said "there are others in the branch who are more worthy. Let them do it".
Elder Anderson went on to explain that his father had not baptized him (I did not know this...had always just assumed he did). With tears in his eyes and a quaver in his voice Elder Anderson shared "I have always wondered why my father did not baptize me. He was the greatest man I knew." Tears flowed fom my eyes as I realized how often we take things for granted and how far-reaching are the effects of our choices.
