This boy received his Bear...

...and a whole lot of kindness from our new ward.

Waiting for the Court of Honor to begin.

Officially introducing Matt to the den.

How this ward welcomes someone new.

(Oh my mother's heart.)

Receiving his Bear badge.

This leader is beyond outstanding.

I've said it before. Be kind to me and I will be so grateful.

Be kind to my husband and kids and I will love you forever.

This ward does kindness like I have hardly ever seen.

Did I mention my mother's heart was in danger of bursting one too many times that night?
