Jack's big day today! In our church, children aren't baptized until they are eight and it's clearly presented to them as a choice they make. Jack has been looking forward to this day for a while, and it has been a happy time for him.
Also in the tradition of our church, Jack's dad had the privilege of baptizing him, confirming him a member of the church and giving him the gift of the Holy Ghost. I had the privilege of speaking at the service about what it means to have the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Lots of special people were able to share the day with him, including:
- Nana, Gramps and Aunt Linda who all flew out from Massachusetts
- Grandma and Grandpa
- Aunt Carol and Uncle Greg
- Cousins Anne and her baby Hyrum, Jenny and her husband Kyle, Evan, Bethany and Sarah
- Good friends from our neighborhood, best friend from school Rex and his mom, Erica, and best friend of all time Gracie and her mom, Diana
- Jack's birthmom and his baby half-brother (who is about 10 months old) who drove up from New Mexico
