OGDEN — Thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses from Utah and surrounding states are gathering in Ogden this weekend to share messages of faith, take part in Christian association — and for a few dozen — get baptized into the faith.
For regional spokesman Mark Helmbold, the excitement from the over 4,000 Witnesses attending the convention is tangible. He said this year's theme "Exercise Patience" is particularly relevant given the patience Witnesses have exercised during the COVID-19 pandemic as they waited for in-person activities to return.

After a three-year pandemic pause, Jehovah’s Witnesses have resumed hosting public conventions worldwide. Jackson Long, 11, was one of 35 individuals who were baptized during the convention Saturday. "I was happy and excited," Jackson said of the experience, adding that he wanted to be baptized to "show my love for Jehovah."
Jonathan Demosthenes, a circuit overseer , shared words of encouragement with the convention prior to the baptism.
