Hermana Clarke's Missionary Moments

Lifelong Friends. These are Rachelle's sweet investigators that she taught in Brownsville. They accepted the baptismal invitation but had to work through some Word of Wisdom issues. They finally got baptized this past week. Hermana Clifford, Rachelle's MTC companion, and Hermana Jamile, Rachelle's old companion both were there to celebrate the big day. My favorite part of this picture is that the daughter is wearing the dress Rachelle gave her when she got baptized--the blue and white one we bought from Called to Surf in Provo.
