An Awesome Sunday



Caleb's baptism was one of the highlights of our whole year! Honestly, we didn't know 8 years ago if we was going to make it to this day. And yesterday he was sooo excited all day. He never stopped smiling! He came up out of the water with a grin on his face. And later during the program, Pres. Coates asked him to turn around and see all the family and friends that were there because of him, and again another big smile with a "WOW"! He was truly on cloud nine! And all my kids did such a wonderful job. Mak sang a solo while Ethan signed the song. Albert gave an awesome prayer. Ryder participated in one of the talks. And John signed the baptism prayer and confirmation without a glitch. John and Caleb's two grandpas along with Pres. Coates stood in the circle. I was thankful I made it through the opening song and my talk without blubbering. But I couldn't because Caleb was just smiling the whole time, I couldn't help but smile with him. It was an awesome day to have all our family there (missing a few, but we know you were there in spirit) and having the most important people in Caleb's life there to witness this ordinance in Caleb's element. We had people signing, and speaking. The Grandpa's both share incredible testimonies along with Seth, getting ready to leave on his mission Wednesday, and Pres. Coates. The Spirit was overwhelming. I felt like we got a glimpse of heaven yesterday!
