Hyrum's Baptism

Hyrum was baptized on Saturday April 19th.  It was such a special experience to witness the baptism of our first child.  I don't know if I can really describe the feelings that were present that day.  Hyrum was proud to have his Daddy perform the baptism and confirmation.  What a bonding experience for them.  I couldn't help but smile as Hyrum came up out of the water, so clean and happy.  He is a special boy.

This is what Hyrum wrote in his journal about his special day:

"Today Daddy baptized me a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.  The water was really warm but when I got out it was cold.  When we went to change in the bathroom I realized I had forgotten to take extra underwear but daddy dried off my wet ones.  After, we went into the chapel  and I got the gift of the holy ghost.  When he gave me the holy ghost I felt the holy ghost.  After I got the holy ghost my dad's friend gave me 20 dollars." 

It's fun to see what things left an impression on him.

We love Hyrum and are so proud of him!
