Aaron was baptized October 5th and confirmed Oct. 6th. We found him one night while we were walking to another appointment and he was walking home. We stopped to talk to him but he was talking to someone on the phone and we moved on. A little while later at an intersection he caught up with us so we stopped and talked again and he told us that he's been thinking of joining a church for a while now and we set an appointment with him. He didn't really have any background or knowledge of religion at all so as we taught Aaron we always focused a lot on not just trying to understand everything we were teaching but more on just how the information felt and finding truth from the Holy Ghost. He committed to being baptized during our first meeting with him. Aaron always told us after the lessons how good he felt about everything we taught, and as he started to keep the commitments we left him he felt even more that it was the right thing to do. He was so ready and prepared to accept the gospel into his life, and change to come unto Christ. His baptism was a beautiful service and had such a wonderful spirit, especially because Aaron was able to invite four of his friends to come along too! The Sunday after he was baptized he was confirmed and given the Gift of the Holy Ghost and it was also fast and testimony meeting, and although Aaron is quite shy, he rose up and bore the most humble and sincere testimony, that his Father in Heaven loves him and his gratitude for being lead to find that out for himself. It's been such a wonderful experience to see Aaron draw closer to his Savior over the last few weeks.
