Had the time come for baptism?
"Brother Palmer asked me if I would be baptized," Brandon recalls. "I had already told him yes. Then the missionaries asked, too. I remember that was on August 4. They said, 'How about September 4?' I said, 'That's the day after the big game. I don't know if that will work,'" and he called for time out to think it over. It didn't take long. He thought about what he had learned and the answers he had already received.
"I knew I had to decide," Brandon said, "And once I made the decision, I knew it was right. I knew I would fulfill my promises to the Lord with all my heart."
The same way—with heart—that both he and Teren played in the rivalry game.
