Oh By The Way...


Roll Tide!!!!


This picture is awesome because of two things.

One, we totally slaughtered Auburn Saturday (if you can't tell, the two on the left are the Auburn fans...) :)

Two, the two on the right are the newest members of the Tuscaloosa Ward. They got baptized the morning of the Iron Bowl.

Coolest story ever.

Before they came here to the University of Alabama they were dating and they really cared about each other. Cody (the guy if you haven't guessed that yet...) being totally the responsible one didn't want to propose yet because he felt like something was missing in his life.

They checked out a number of churches, and he all of a sudden became a fan of the BYU Cougers. Why, I don't know that story yet, but he did. He then learned more about the Church, checked out a Book of Mormon from the library, they read it, came to visit our ward, met with the missionaries, etc. He prayed to know whether the Church was true, so did Amy, they both gained a testimony, and he proposed soon after. The void that he felt was filled.

Totally awesome.

I love that he checked the B of M out at the library. That's awesome. I also love the expression of the Auburn fans. So great!

Heh, that was a great game, if you weren't an Auburn fan...what changed them into Alabama fams if they were Cougers before?

They attend the University of Alabama, so they are both? He usually is found wearing the BYU gear though...
