Mitchell's Baptism

Well, he finally did it! We decided to push back Mitchell's baptism to when all of my family was going to be in town. I am so glad we did. It was so nice to have so much family around us.

Matt's dad Larry came down and stayed with us for a few days. It was nice to visit with him and let the kids get to know him better.

I was a little nervous about how Mitchell was going to do because he doesn't always like to put his head under the water. But when we were swimming the night before at Papa's house he practiced putting his head all the way under and did just fine.

I gave the talk on baptism which was fun for me to be able to talk to Mitchell directly. When Matt did baptize him it went perfectly and they only had to do it once!
Paige sang a song in between the baptism and confirmation and did a great job....as usual. Then Mimi (my mom) gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. I was really touched when Matt confirmed Mitchell. He did a great job. He spoke about Mitchell having the gift of prayer (which is so true) and how he can use that gift for the rest of his life to help himself and other people.

After the baptism we all went out to dinner to Red Robbin and had a great time.
Thanks everyone for coming! It was so nice to have all our family there.
