I don't understand "and being baptized". Maybe you meant "he was baptized" or "he baptized others"?

"In retrospect" should be followed with something you should've realized. Something like "In retrospect, I should've realized that..." or "In retrospect, ...should've told me that"

Phrases like "he was so shy that ..." should be followed with an example:
- "He was so shy that he didn't have a single friend"
- "He was so fast that he raced boys two years older and won"
- "He was so fat that he couldn't fit in one seat on the train"

"Exceptional in languages" doesn't make sense, you need to say something about his skills with languages like "exceptionally talented with languages" or "had exceptional language skills".

"learn his courage and spirits" means "memorize his courage and spirits". "learn from" is the phrase you use in these situations.
