More about Manfred:
manfred was earlier in the roman catholic church but knew it wasnt the true church. he never denied his faith and continued to believe but knew what they did wasnt right. he continued to pray that god would take him by the hand and show him the way. on christmas eve his daughter showed up at his door and said lets go to the christmas market! he really didnt want to go, hed been before and it was just crowded, and nothing too exciting. she made him go and they were waiting on the gleis for her friend to come. as they waited we talked to him. our strassenbahn came and we had to go so we gave him our card. as we drove away i said hey cool! look, hes reading our card! his daughter said you know the bible but what is that other book? he said i dont know, but i want to know what it is! i want that book! so... two weeks later he called.
See previous post about Manfred. Then here's the rest of the story:
2/15: We had an amazing week and an amazing sunday!! MANFRED WAS BAPTIZED!!! it was incredible. the whole week he was counting down, had his clothes ready in his bag days before and couldnt stop talking about it. he had invited his daughter nicole and we could tell he was really looking forward to have her there. We walked into the church sunday morning and he was already there with his daughter. he had already shown nicole the church and was so proud to have her there and explain everything. His baptism was incredible. I recognized the power of white and what purity and goodness it represents. It represents the unity that we have as children of God. elder hegewald has become really good friends with him and baptized him. as he came out of the water they sat and hug. manfred didnt want to let him go. Manfred was beaming as he came back from changing. i said it was nice huh? and his eyes got really big and he said ja! He called us later that night so excited to plan a little celebration party for his baptism.
