Baptism Day

Elijah turned 8 and was so excited to get baptized. The morning of his baptism, Elijah and I went to Epic Donuts to get some special treats for the occasion. Both sets of grandparents were there to make the day even more special. In our stake we do child of record baptisms on the first Saturday of the month. After getting his interview with Bishop Simpson, we had the go ahead for May 3rd. I was able to go up front with Elijah in the chapel and say a little about him and what makes him special. After that we headed to the Relief Society room for the actual baptism. Michael was able to baptize Elijah while both of grandpas, Grandpa Cooper and Grandpa Stone were the witnesses. Aunt Lisa gave a nice talk on the Holy Ghost and what it means to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a really nice day and I'm glad that so many family members were there to share it with Elijah.
