Here's another reason why I love and am grateful for my husband, Nigel.
When Nigel was a missionary and an investigator agreed to be baptized, he would have a member of the local area baptize the person so that they would always have a connection to that ward or branch. He knew that he would be transferred to a new location or eventually go back home, so he wanted the new member to have a special bond with someone that would always be close by.
I also love him because I never knew this about him until years later at my own daughter's baptism and one of his old college roommates related this to us in a talk.
I love you, Nigel!

Nigel, you are real.
GEO -- he's real all right. REAL AWESOME!
this restores some of my lost faith in missionary work, as i keep hearing about missionaries pushed for quantity rather than quality. i like to think of myself as quality - having been baptized in high school by a man in my ward who was also my seminary teachers. oh how i loved the sisters who taught me.
i appreciate this story so much, lois. thank you. and you're very lucky to have a husband so honest and caring.
KC -- sounds like you had some great missionaries.
Yes, I am very lucky.
