Ryker Denny, 2nd of Jessica and Emanual Zevallos’ four sons, stepped into the baptismal font next to his stepfather on Saturday, March 26, 2022 to show his Heavenly Father his willingness to “come unto Christ” and keep His commandments from this time forward. Baptized and confirmed on his 8th birthday Ryker was surrounded by grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, his Dad, a stepbrother and a stepsister, all who had traveled from northern Utah for this important event.
Ryker, a 2nd grader at Bloomington Elementary School, is very social, sweet and caring and loves learning about Jesus. In the classroom, he enjoys science, drawing, arts and crafts but isn't crazy about math. Outside of school, he very much likes soccer, basketball, getting to know new friends, making people laugh ... and helping his Mom as her biggest helper with his one-year-old brother.
In the words of Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Entering into the kingdom of God is so important Jesus set the example to show us ‘the straitness of the path, and the narrowness of the gate, by which [we] should enter.” (2 Nephi 31:9)
“Then each week in sacrament meeting we promise to remember the atoning sacrifice of our Savior as we renew our baptismal covenant. We promise to do as the Savior did – to be obedient to the Father and always keep His commandments. The blessing we have in return is to always have His spirit to be with us.”
As ward members, it is now our responsibility to help his family guide Ryker in whatever way possible, on his journey as a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
