Justin's baptism

Yesterday was a very special day in our house. Justin was baptized! Our sweet boy chose to follow the Lord's commandment and took his first important step towards his eternal salvation. We are so proud of him and the wonderful and beautiful spirit that he brings into our family. We are grateful to all those that made this day special and memorable for him. In attendance were his grandparents,
our good friends, the Hank's family and my friend of many years, Allyson Zaret. She gave a beautiful talk on baptism. Thank you Allyson!

Our home teacher, Rick Mescall, gave a great talk on receiving the Holy Ghost and the blessing it is in our life. Thank you Rick! Justin's Primary teacher is the one in the floral dress, Dian Burd. He has really enjoyed having her as his teacher. I wasn't able to get near the amount of pictures that I wanted, but at least I got a few, right? It was the perfect day for a very special boy. Thanks again to all those that traveled far, knowing how important this day was to him and to us. We appreciate all your support! We love you, Justin! You are a wonderful blessing to both your dad and me. Heavenly Father is so proud of your choice. We hope that you will always remember this special day of yours.
