The father of a potential lottery pick says the Milwaukee Bucks have contacted his son and have been doing background research on him, despite not owning a first-round pick, per @Barlowe500
โMilwaukee doesnโt have a pick in the first round, not even in the top 10. But theyโre asking about my son and wanting to know a little bit more information. Theyโve called, and I donโt understand why they have interest unless they plan on making a move.โ

2024 is a significant year for me. It has been 20 years since I was called to serve in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, 30 years since I was called to be a General Authority for the Church, and 75 years since I was baptized in this pool in Zwickau, Germany.
When I was just six years old, my life was eternally blessed because of someone who understood what it meant to reach out to โthe one.โ
Just after World War II, my grandmother was standing in a line for food when an elderly single sister invited her to sacrament meeting in Zwickau. My grandmother and my parents accepted the invitation.
They went to church, felt the Spirit, were uplifted by the kindness of the members, and were edified by the hymns of the Restoration. My grandmother, my parents, and my three siblings were all baptized. I had to wait two years, but I was able to be baptized in this public pool.
Witnessing the baptisms of my family members in a lake-like public pool was my first lesson of the importance of making covenants that bind us to our Heavenly Father. Making covenants with our Father in Heaven is a delight. The covenants we make are the very things that guide you and me from our current state to the person of glory we wish to become.
