Baptism of Bob Shearer

The boys got to participate in the baptism of Bob Shearer.  Bob is an older gentleman in our ward who, for as long as we've been in the ward (20 years) has gone with his wife to church, but he himself has never been a member.  Adam Shepherd felt inspired while he was at the temple to ask Bob if he wanted to be baptized.  So, Adam talked with Bob and his wife, and they said yes.  They called the missionaries, and he got the lessons.  Amazing, right! 

So, Adam was asked to baptize Bob and then they knew that he would need help physically getting in and out of the water, so they asked Tyler to help.  They also asked Josh to be a witness along with his wife.  

They built a relationship with Tyler and Josh because they had been doing sacrament for the homebound for the Shearers while Bob has been recovering from a broken back and cancer.  They really got to know them and became good friends.  It's such a neat story.  I hope the boys remember this forever.

After the baptism we all went to the rec center to sign the kids up for a free summer program and then we went out to lunch.  It was a great morning and we all felt uplifted by the spirit.
