Tim and Jenn Get Baptized!

At the beginning of July, we sent out an email to many of our friends and family asking them to fast for Tim and Jenn Nelson. Tim and Jenn are an amazing couple who have been investigating the church over the last several months. They have two little boys-one in Primary and one in Nursery. We were praying that they would receive their own witness of the Book of Mormon and the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We want to thank so many of you for fasting with us.



To our delight, Tim and Jenn were baptized on August 9th at 4 p.m. at the Avra Valley Ward chapel. Your praying and fasting paid off. Their baptism was amazing! We are so excited for their family.

Two and a half years ago, we were working with a young man who was wanting to get baptized. He moved away from the area right before he could get baptized. He recently moved back and started coming to church all by himself. He still wanted to be baptized. He was baptized at the same service as the Nelsons. We are so happy for Aaron as well!
