Joey's Baptism

An amazing day!
The spirit was sure with us on this day.
My baby turned 8 and was baptized by his dad.
A quick story: The night before we had the missionaries over for dinner and Joey was asked to say the prayer. In his prayer he said (I won't quote the whole prayer)  "tomorrow let all my sins be washed away." The sweet words only an innocent child speaks.
On this day I was sad because this meant that my son was growing up and no longer a baby; but at the same time my heart swelled with joy and bursted with a proudness that words cannot explain, for my son was making the choice to follow Christ. This is a feeling that brought tears to my eyes.
As Bryan said "It took his breath away to feel the spirit so close and strong!"
