Avery Makes the Wright Choice

On Sunday night at the Bloomington Stake Center, Avery Wright took part in an ordinance as old as the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Surrounded by family and friends, the 8-year-old "made of sugar and spice and everything nice" was baptized by immersion and confirmed by her father David Wright in obedience to the Lord's commandment, and to receive the many blessings promised to her as a member of the church. Avery is the youngest daughter of David and Gentry Wright and a 3rd grader at Bloomington Elementary School.

In the words of President Gordon B. Hinckley, it is now the duty of the members of the Bloomington 7th Ward to help Avery "become a strong and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - a young woman who loves the Lord, who understands the gospel, who fellowships with the Saints and who partakes of the beauties and wonders of the gospel of Jesus Christ."
