Every Doctrine and Covenants year in seminary we make a quilt. We leave a few blank squares and then pray for missionary opportunities, hoping that we can present a new convert with our quilt.
Eight years ago we gave our quilt to Isaac Godoy. I think Rachel was a junior that year (sorry Rachie if that makes you feel a little old.)
This past Saturday we presented our 2014-2015 quilt to an amazing young man, John Enriquez. He is in the Monrovia Ward. He will be a great addition to our young men and to our seminary classes. I appreciate these great youth coming out to support him. One of my students who is leaving on a mission in a few weeks, was asked to perform the baptism. It was a great baptism. There is great joy in hastening the work.

This is a really cool tradition. So happy for John!
