Max Gets Baptized!

 
Posted by Picasa


Max had a special day today - he was baptized by his big brother Eric and confirmed a member by his father Darrell. The Bishopric attended and his Primary President, our home teachers, Max's Primary teachers and his Primary helper. He was wonderful! Bryanna led the music, Eric performed a special musical number on the piano and I gave the talk. The Spirit was so strong - I couldn't help but cry. Even my Mom got up and bore her testimony - fantastic considering she isn't a member, but she felt so strongly she just needed to get up and speak from her heart. Our Bishop was also moved to tears when he welcomed Max as the newest member of the Salt River Ward. It was a wonderful experience and Max was so good. He seemed to really understand what was happening and his behavior was amazing. It was a wonderful day and one that we will remember always. I hope that clarity will remain with Max - the veil seemed so thin. Great decision Max! We are so proud of you.

Gosh, Max looks so big and handsome! What a sweetie.

David baptized his younger brother Ryan, back in the day. He thought it was nice that Eric was able to baptize Max.

Michelle, you look beautiful. As always.
