Catching Up: Another New Member is Welcomed

Gracie Green, 8-year-old daughter of Jacob and Annie Green and granddaughter to former 7th Warders Joe and Becky Petersen, began “the spiritual journey of a lifetime” when she was baptized and confirmed by her daddy on Saturday, October 13.  Gracie, with her big smile and her big testimony, is big sister to Nellie and Lucie and a 2nd grade student at Bloomington Elementary School.            

In the words of Elder Neil L. Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles concerning this milestone, “we do not know everything in the beginning or even along the way. Our conversion comes step-by-step, line-upon-line. We first build a foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  We treasure the principles and ordinances of repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, then remain steady and patient as we progress through mortality. At times, the Lord’s answer will be, 'You don’t know everything, but you know enough' — enough to keep the commandments and to do what is right."
