We posed with him and his family before the baptism:
This is a special family to us. Unfortunately, Brother Durand's work has moved him from Tarma to La Merced, in the jungle about an hour and a half from Tarma. We will miss this family.
The baptism was wonderful. Just so you know some of the challenges that church members face here in Tarma, look at the dirty tap water, shown here in the baptismal font. The water also was freezing cold:
In spite of the cold, dirty water, Eduardo had the courage to go through with his baptism, as do many wonderful Peruvian people in Tarma.

Congratulations to Eduardo!! What a great young man. You will really miss this family and we're sure they'll miss you two friends.
One of my favorite parts of being the primary president is going to the 8-year-old baptisms. I feel the spirit every time. Congratulations to Eduardo--hope he comes to visit you often!
