Abell did it!!!

Scout buddies... Jayden, Eric, and Abell.
He is so excited!
Brother Nielsen giving Abell his merit badges.

Abell received his Second Class rank in scouts.

He also earned two merit badges.

He was so excited!

He has been waiting for an overnight camping trip to be able to complete the last few things he needed to get the new rank.
Abell is so in love with the scouting program. It is his first priority. He always makes sure that he remembers to go to scouts. If he has a baseball or basketball practice that overlaps, he always chooses to go to scouts. I am so happy that he has so much enthusiasm for it. I hope it continues until he gets the Eagle rank. He has set the goal and is on track to receive it way before he turns 16. So lets cross our fingers!
He has an awesome scout leader... Brother Nielsen. He has really inspired Abell to be the best scout possible. He always goes the extra mile for the boys. I am so thankful to have such a great leader for Abell to start out with. I think it is going to make a big difference. Too bad he only gets to be with him until he turns twelve in about six weeks.
I am so proud of who Abell is becoming. He has such a great testimony. When things get tough at school or with friends, he always chooses the right. He is a great example to me.
