Eight is Great



My cute little stinker was Baptized today. It does not seem possible that he is old enough. Why oh why can't I make time stand still?

It was a family participation event. Dallas gave a nice talk on baptism and the holy ghost. He had a nice little visual that he used (Mr potato head) he put each item on and talked about how our eyes help us to see the truth, our hands help us to give service, our feet help us to stay on the straight and narrow path. You get the picture. The prayers were said by Tori and Aly. And we had a special musical number by the missionaries. I figured it was the next best thing to having Tyler there to sing for us. It actually made me a bit teary just thinking about the experiences that he is having in Baltimore.

It was a very nice day.
