Brother and Sister
On 18 January 1951, Bringhurst arrived on the island to baptize Di Francesca at Imerese. This was the first baptism performed in Sicily for the LDS Church. When Di Francesca came up out of the water, he said, “I have prayed daily for many years for this moment. My dear Brother and Sister Bringhurst—you can hardly imagine how sweet those words brother and sister are to me. I say them with a feeling of affection and appreciation that I have never before experienced, for I know that you have led me through the door that will eventually bring me back to my Heavenly Father, if I am faithful.”
