Ben Edwards

Great News!
Ben Edwards has decided to be baptized on the 21st of February.  He has been coming to Family Home Evening and Institute for quite some time. He participates in all the YSA activities and has even gone on the Stake Temple trip to the London Temple the last two excursions. He waits on the grounds or in the visitors center while his friends do sessions and then talks with them between times and just enjoys being there. When he came to Church Sunday morning he showed me his new scriptures, a quad, that he bought while at the temple on Saturday and he was so excited to have them. He has been taught by Sisters Morris and Martinec and we are all thrilled at his decision. So is he.  As soon as he made the commitment, he sent text messages to all of his YSA friends.  He has asked Luc Rasmussen to baptize him.

Congratulations! Another success story. You look so happy in your pictures. What a great experience. We just heard that a young lady who is a senior at Mackynzie's school has committed to be baptized. She has been friends with a boy in our ward for about two years now and she started taking the discussions a few months ago. It is great to see the changes that are occurring in her life. You have to love missionary experiences.

Missionary work is so rewarding. Attending a baptism, esp when you were able to help teach the person is absolutely one of the best feelings ever. God is so good to us to let us help in His work. This time for you is such a treasure chest of great experiences. I adore you!
