Nyles' Baptism

On Saturday, August 15th at 11am we held Nyles' baptism at our church building.  Since Covid-19 is still spreading, we were only allowed to have about 20 people attend in person.  Everyone else was able to attend via Zoom (video conference).  Everyone who attended was also asked to wear a mask the whole time.  They asked us not to use the piano, so they didn't have to clean it, so I used my phone to play the songs as accompaniment.  Jeff came and helped get us set up w/ the computer for the Zoom meeting, then left.  Rob then took over and ran it throughout the program.  We were asked not to have a musical number as well and keep it under 40 minutes.  Some of the details were a little different than other baptisms we've attended, but the Spirit was still strong.  We are so proud of Nyles in his decision to be baptized and follow his Savior.  We appreciate all the love and support from those who attended and those who attended via Zoom.  Here are some highlights.
