Hello Everyone! It was another fantastic week in Ely. Highlight of the week was Donovan's Baptism. We found Donovan going through a list of unbaptized members, the first time we met him we invited him and his mom to a baptism for one of the other wards, and right after the word "Baptism" left our mouths he shouted "I want to be baptized!"

Yes, Donovan, we can help you with that.

I was blessed to be able to teach him all the lessons, He is certainly a rowdy 10 year old, but he understands what we taught him, I'm excited to see him progress! One Sunday He even went up to our Bishop and asked if he could pass the sacrament... Not quite yet... But soon!

When announcing the baptism yesterday right before the confirmation, our first counselor said "we had half of Panaca here for the baptism!" Which may or may not be true, a lot of Donovan's active member family lives there and they all came up for his Baptism, Including his 98 year old Great-Great- Grandmother. She was funny...

That's about all that happened this week. Remember to read the Book of Mormon every day!

Stay righteous Y'all!!!
