Reilly Dove is Ward's Newest Member

Reilly Dove, grandson of Marvin and Vicki Dove, began his “spiritual journey of a lifetime” when he stepped into the font at the Bloomington Stake Center to be baptized and confirmed by his Grandpa on Saturday, March 15. 

According to Sister Dwan Young, former General President of the Primary organization, "Baptism is the beginning of a new life for each of us, a life of purpose.  The Lord is very clear as to what it means to keep his commandments, come into his fold, and be called his people who are those 'willing to bear one another's burdens, that they might be light;

"Yea, and are willing to mourn with those who mourn, yea, and comfort those who stand in need of comfort'."  (Mosiah 18:8-9).

The 2nd grader at Bloomington Hills Elementary School is particularly excited about the Titanic and knows every fact there is about the ship which sank in 1912, as well as the sister ships RMS Olympic and RMS Brittanic.  He also enjoys 4-wheeling with Grandma and Grandpa, likes to ride his bike and his electric scooter, loves to swim and ice cream is his favorite food.

Congratulations to Reilly for making this important decision.
