Jonathan was baptized yesterday (Oct 10th). There were 3 other children baptized the same day. Brother Paulsen talked to the children about baptism, then they were each baptized and confirmed. It is awesome to see your own child baptized. What a bright future he has ahead of him.
Lil talked to Jon about the Gift of the Holy Ghost. She did a great job. She had a gift for Jon. Each part of the gift represented something the Holy Ghost does for us. He comforts us (a really soft, snuggly blanket). He testifies and teaches (a Book of Mormom with Lil's testimony in it). He guides us (a compass). She also gave him a flashlight and I can't remember what it meant (Lil, please leave a comment and remind me).
This was the first time since Meg's wedding that my parent's whole family has been together. We've come close a few times, but Derek is usually missing. It was fun.

Congratulations to all! What a wonderful day for your family.
exciting!! Congrats to Jonathan! How fun to have the whole family together!
Oh, what a special day for you guys! The spirit present at baptisms is just amazing. I played the piano for our Stake Baptisms yesterday, and it was such a great way to start the day. (Ours are in the morning.) And how neat that Lil could speak - that makes it so memorable for him!
