New Member

Saturday, November 16th, we gained a new member in our ward family. Teddy Scott made the important decision to be baptized! At the opening of this exciting event, Brother Ben Friend gave a talk on the importance of the decision of baptism, along with the covenants that are made, and the blessings that are received after which Teddy was baptized by Elder Callahan. Teddy's family was there supporting him and tearing up from the front row. Then, Brother Dallas Holmes gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, specifically what a gift and privilege that companionship is. He also welcomed Teddy into the Young Men organization. Brother John Fricke was there representing the Bishopric and welcomed Teddy into the ward. Elder Carter and Elder Sannar, who were the first missionaries to speak with Teddy at the beginning of the summer, were able to make it down for the baptism.

The next morning, Sunday, November 17th, during Sacrament meeting, Brother Teddy Scott was confirmed a member of the Church and given the Holy Ghost along with a special blessing by Elder Openshaw.

Afterwards, Teddy addressed the congregation and gave his beautiful testimony. He spoke of trials as a test of faith and of the power of prayer. He told a story about a time when he offered up a desperate plea to Heavenly Father and his prayer was promptly answered in a very generous way.

We are so excited to welcome this thoughtful, strong, and fun young man into our ward family. Welcome Teddy!
