Yesterday, I went to Provo to see the baptism of Sete Aula`i. He was the only one being baptized. Sete is the nephew of our close friends the Salimas. The stake center where Sete was baptized, was full into the overflow. In the baptism room, the women sat on chairs, the children sat on the floor in front of the font, and the men had to stand around the edge of the room. Sete was a BYU football player and many of his old team mates and coaches came. It was neat to see all of those men standing around the outer edge of the room, almost like protectors of the women and children.
Sete was baptized by his uncle and the baptism prayer was given in Samoan.
There were many beautiful songs sung in the chapel. Most were in English, but four girls sang I am A Child of God in Samoan.
It was a beautiful baptism day! I am happy for Sete!
