Michael's Baptism


Michael has been so excited about his baptism. I love how my kids really have a desire to get baptized. Michael could not wait to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Michael has always had a love for church and the gospel. I really think it had a lot to do with his nursery teachers. (Thanks Kemptons) He loves church and he loves FHE. He loves learning from the scriptures and the stories in them. He retains everything he learns so well. I'm so grateful for his desire to learn the gospel.
His baptism day was so great! We had all of our family and close friends there. Quite of few of you all had already left when we took this picture,I feel bad about that...sorry. Funny thing about this picture. We asked this older gentleman to take this picture for us so we could all be in it..... turns out he was partially blind! So, we will just take this picture and be happy that we have it. haha!! I'm just so grateful for a loving, supportive family and close friends who shared this special day with us!

What a great memory!!! We've got a long way to go with Maya but I'm sure it'll be here before we know it. I hope she has the same desire(s) that Michael has.

Kellee, your boys are so cute.You need to enjoy them because before you know it they will be in Chile on a mission. We miss you too. Why don't you buy a house in our ward? They probably need you in your ward. Anyway, know we love and miss you. Congrats on the baptism, Trace was also baptised on Valentine's Day.
