Baptismal program by deacons.

I just got back from an amazing baptismal program today.

A deacon aged boy was being baptized. Almost the entire program was filled by his quorum members.

Josh played the opening song, Brightly Beams,while another deacon lead. A different deacon played the rest hymn and the closing hymn. Deacons said the prayers and gave the first talk. Their quorum adviser gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and the Bishop welcomed him to the ward. He was baptized by his grandpa.

I looked at those young boys and thought how wonderful that they were getting ready for their missions in such concrete ways.

I am grateful for our Young Men's leaders who encourage the boys to reach and fulfill meaningful positions.

Another step in mission prep happened today for my son.
