Newest Church Member




Hey everyone. Sorry it has been a while. We had some great things happen in the last couple of weeks. As you can see by the pictures Sam was baptised. She was soooo excited for the big event. She was the only girl in the whole stake to baptised this month. Mom and dad came down for the weekend and Dad was the one to baptise her. We did have some problems that day. The stake didn't know about Sam and the little boy from our ward so they weren't on the program. The bishop was late in getting there so we weren't sure that it would even happen for the kids in our ward. But all did go well.

Sam really wanted to test the whole sins being washed away thing. A couple of days before she was baptised she left her scooter out over night and it was taken away from her for a few days. Well before we walked into the Church she asked me that when she is baptised that all of her sins are washed away. I told her that they are and then she asked if that meant she gets her scooter back. Since she got in trouble before she was baptised and after she's baptised she's trouble free. How can you argue with that?

Afterwards we went to lunch at Sam's favorite place (all you can eat Chinese) and then mom and I went to IKEA. Mom's favorite place. I had never been there before and it was nice to go and see what all the hoop-la was about.

There hasn't been much going on. I have been busy with my church calling and Alex has been busy with work. He's taking a week off next week so we will be able to do some family outings before school starts. He wants to take the girls fishing and we have our ward camp out next week. I am really excited about that. Well we will talk to you all later and I will let you all know how the fishing and camping goes.
