We had a baptism this week, Nicholas was baptized. So I guess I'll tell you a little about Nicholas. He is 15 and his parents died when he was very young. He lives with his grandmother. He had been going to church for many years now, his aunt and uncle are members of the church. His grandma never let him get baptized. She thought he only wanted to go to church to mess around and stuff, which is partially true. He went to FSY which is basically EFY and he returned a lot different, more spiritual, and we went and talked a little bit with his grandma and she let him be baptized. He is a pretty good example because he never had anyone to help him or get on his case about going to church. He always went because he wanted to and he knew it was the right thing to do.
This week we are going to have a meeting Saturday, with Elder D. Todd Christofferson, and he will also be here on Sunday for Stake Conference so that will be really cool!
I'm doing great. Hope all is well.
Elder Batten
