Good News For The Unck Family

Starting Left: Elder Coombs, Grandpa Kenneth Logan, Elder Gomez

I am so excited to be posting this blog! It's something that a lot of people in my side of the family have been waiting a long time for! My Grandpa Logan (my dad's step-dad) just got baptized into the LDS church yesterday! My grandpa was born into the Catholic Church and when he turned 12, he was converted to the Presbyterian Church. My Grandma married Grandpa Ken a few years after Grandpa Unck had passed away. They married in 1981. Since then, he has been coming to church with my Grandma and it wasn't until recent that the these missionaries came to the door and he said to them, "not a chance, Elders."
These wonderful missionaries taught him for a few weeks and that is when he decided to convert to the Mormon Church. My Grandpa and Grandma called everyone. Not just parents, everyone.
After 28 years of going to church with my Grandma Arline and being 96 years of age, he finally did it. We are so proud of him. These are the moments where you feel the spirit most in your life because you know someone is as happy as you are that you have the gospel in your life. We love him so much and we are so happy that he is apart of our family.
