Noah's Big Day


Noah turned 8 and was baptized on August 31. Noah chose 'Scripture Power' and 'I Love to See the Temple' for the songs. Brigham and Anna said the prayers. Isaac, Grandma Blake, Mom and Noah's teacher (Bro. Elliott) bore testimonies. Dad baptized and confirmed. It was a memorable baptism because of some technical difficulties with the font. There were only about TWO feet of water. It's a good thing Dad was not a novice!!!

We have noticed a change in Noah after this great day. He really understands the covenants he has made and the principle of choice and accountabililty.

You are awesome Noah! It is exciting that you are trying so hard to choose the right! I am proud of you for being such a good example to all of your family.

I don't know which is better, Noah being baptized, or the absolutely cool-looking kid in the picture. Noah, you are one awesome dude, inside and out.
