Today after church at 11:30am was the baptismal service for Tony Hong and his wife, Emay Ren. This was the first branch baptismal service with more than one person being baptized in 9 years. It was also the first branch baptismal service with a husband and wife being baptized together in 12 years.
Brother Benjamin Tsai conducted the baptism. Sister Suzie Hu shared a talk on baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Elder Evans baptized Tony and Emay, and President Da Zhao confirmed both of them. Tony was welcomed to the Elders Quorum by Brother Huang Lizhong, while Emay was welcomed to the Relief Society by Sister Ella Chong. Then Brother Jason Liu welcomed them to the branch. The prayers were offered by Sister Gower and Elder Abbott. Attending in person was Elder Banks, and attending online was Sister Allen, both of whom previously taught Tony and Emay. Congratulations and welcome, Tony and Emay, on becoming the newest members of the church today.
