Braden's Baptism

One night about three weeks ago Braden was saying his personal prayers before bed and just after the missionaries had left our home. Braden had not been interested in the gospel message that much little-lone baptism. He was taking the discussions to find out more about the church and that was about all.

After his prayer this night it looked like a light switch had been turned on in Braden and he was filled with energy and excitement. He ended his prayer and immediately turned to me and said that he wanted to be baptized to be forgiven of all his sins and to get the Holy Ghost as his constant companion....a part of the gospel message had suddenly "clicked" for him and he was ready to go.

Fast forward three weeks and here we are. Braden was baptized today September 13, 2008....HOORAY!





His Dad Wade and oldest brother Kyler came up from Utah to be a part of this wonderful day.


Looking good in WHITE!


Braden asked Grandpa Dalton to baptize him. Since Grandpa baptized his older sister Shaylee he thought it would be cool to have Grandpa do him too, and he was CORRECT!


CONFIRMATION TOMORROW!!!

That story is sooo touching. What a blessing it is for those kids to be able to spend this time with your family, and what a pivotal moment for him. His dad looked really proud too. What a fantastic day.
