Baptism

At age 8 in our church children are given the choice to join the church and be baptized. They are then interviewed with the Bishop about what it all means. We talked to Jacob about this step for the last year. He was excited and ready for this time.    I am so proud that Jacob made this choice and took it so seriously.  His baptism was a great day surrounded with people who loved him and the spirit was very strong in the room.

Before the big day and right after his interview with the Bishop I took him out to get a photo for his program. He got a new suit for the special day!

Baptism day May 1st, 2010

 

 

After the baptism we had a brunch. It turned out so nice.  I was given so much support from the Women in my life. They all brought a lot of food and made a lot of effort to help me. I am very lucky!  We were also very lucky to have Alan’s brother's family fly in for the occasion.  Both Grandma’s gave talks and Lindsey sang a beautiful song with her Aunt and her friend.

 

Jacob I still remember the day I was baptized. I don’t think I knew then what a gift I was getting. Being a member of the church has been my greatest blessing.  My knowledge of the truthfulness of the this Gospel and my relationship with Jesus Christ have truly provided me with all of my most precious blessings. When I alone and in need of comfort I have been able to develop a relationship where I know my prayers are heard and through this I never feel I am alone or that someone doesn’t understand.   If you live right and follow the Lord I know that you will have a life filled with happiness. I love you!
