Reno Baptism!

Max stayed behind in Merced to work a couple more days after I left. He was also able to attend a baptism in Reno on August 22. (This post is indeed late). Before either of us left Merced, Max recieved a text from Lori Vela who has been a very close family friend to Max's family since before he was born. She was asking what he was doing the 22nd. Max was planning on leaving Merced that morning and driving straight to Provo. She informed Max that she had been taking the missionary discussions for awhile now and was getting baptized along with her daughter Jacqueline on that day. The best part about this is that they live in Reno and Max was driving through Reno that day. Too Perfect! It was an easy decision to attend their baptism and support them. Max arrived just in time to witness the baptism and then was able to confirm both of them. It was a beautiful moment for him to see someone that he had known his whole life make such a life changing decision. We are proud of you Lori and Jacqueline!

Max stayed the night in Reno with his good friend Reece and his wife MaryAnne.

They had a hay-day

He then made his way to Provo so we could be reunited after 4 long days!!
