Baptism Day



Jonah's baptism was on Saturday. It was great. My parents came from the Bay Area, my sister Jana & nephew came from Utah, Deon's mother came from Dallas, and His father from L.A.
Unfortunately Jonah had 103* fever the day before, so he was a little under the weather, but he was very happy. Jonah was the only one being baptized that day, so we had the program all to our selves.
Deon's mother was the chorister and did a wonderful job. She has a gift to be able get so few people to sing so boisterously and sound like a large congregation. Several people there expressed their desire for her to be our regular chorister! The kids loved having Deborah stay a few days and getting to know her better, and we all loved the fried chicken she cooked last night.

I teach the 7-8 yos in my ward, so I have been to a lot of baptisms this year. They are awesome! The kids have such sweet spirits.

Congratulations Jonah!

Congrats to Jonah! You're so lucky to have had the program for yourselves. We had 4 other baptisms on Caitlyn's special day. The chapel was full. It took an extra long time, but it was still a wonderful experience for us all.
