We had a very successful morning, to include a wonderful miracle. We went to C-447 to try to find a young man who we heard was there, but had not met. When we arrived there, we found that they were all in their morning formation. They really make it hard sometimes; some Saturdays their formation is at 8 am, some it is at 8:30. Lately it has been at 8:30, so if we get there at 8 we have time to see everyone we want to see, but today it was at 8; so we waited about a half hour for them to finish. We try to watch them as they come into the barracks and look at their names so we can hopefully catch the ones we are looking for. Today, Elder Gowans was watching; one young man was just about to head up the stairs, but he looked over at him and he and Elder Gowans caught eyes, he knew by the look that this was the fellow we were looking for. He turned and sure enough, his name tag bore the correct name. "Are you Brother Buhrmann?" "Yes, I am", was the reply. We had a nice visit and we were able to get acquainted. We were able to find one other young man who we looked for too. Then, we went to visit brother Mardanlou. He had told us yesterday, that he wanted to talk to us today. So we went to his barracks and asked for him. He came down and we went out and sat at a picnic table. He humbly told us that it was his desire to not wait any longer to be baptized, but that he wanted to be baptized as soon as possible. We were so thrilled to hear of his decision. We told him we would have him meet with the young Elders tomorrow and make sure he is ready and then have him interviewed and we set a date for him to be baptized, next Sunday. We were so happy! And he was too.

Later in the afternoon we attended another baptism of a very nice fellow. Also there, was the family we had an appointment with, the Zenger family. So, after the baptism we followed them to their apartment and had a real nice visit with them. They've been married two months, he is a graduate of West Point. A very sweet couple, both attended Northridge High School in Layton! Tis been a wonderful day!
