Scott had his first official baptism today. Auggie G., the amazing goalie from the OHS soccer team, was baptized today by Scott. It was a great day. It all started about a month ago when the soccer team had a party at my house. About 9 of them ended up sleeping over and when I woke them up bright and early so they could go to the 3v3 fundraiser tournament they were in charge of, they told me they had only slept about an hour, but it was okay, because they were "talking about Jesus." Well, apparently what they were doing was answering all of Auggie's questions (and more) about the church. Scott thought he was a little overwhelmed after that, but on Monday, Auggie asked him for a Book of Mormon, and soon he was taking the missionary discussions. He knew from the beginning that he wanted to be baptized. He is a great young man, and it has been a (nother) great experience for Scott and the other boys on the team who went through the discussions with him. I'm so grateful for the missionary experiences that Scott has had the last two years through his associations with the soccer team.
