Between Sessions of General Conference on Saturday, Elder Coleman baptized a dear soul, Ruthven Claude Reefer into the Church. Elder Coleman, Elder Jackson and Elder Cotton-Betteridge had been teaching Ruthven for several weeks and he made his decision, he was ready to be baptized and wanted Elder Coleman to perform the baptism.
Ruthven has suffered from a stroke but since he has had the Elders in his home, teaching him about the Restoration and the Plan of Happiness, his health has improved. After the stroke, he was not able to walk. And as you can see in these pictures, he was able to walk to the font for the baptism and is standing with those who taught him. As members of our Branch spoke at his baptism, he had tears in his eyes as the Spirit was speaking to him. Elder Coleman was grateful for this opportunity to bring the blessings of the Gospel to Ruthven.
