It was such a special day-not exactly how we planned it, but it turned out better. We had attended another baptism that morning and the Ward mission leader told us we could not show the slide show of Marco during the intermission time between the baptism and confirmation (we did show it after the service). I was in a little panic, but we found a beautiful clip on the life of Christ that totally brought in the Spirit. I also had the opportunity to bear my testimony, which I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. Grandma and Grandpa gave beautiful talks on baptism and the Holy Ghost and Aunt Tami provided the piano accompaniment. We sang the Baptism Song and I am a Child of God. Uncle Dan and Uncle B gave the prayers. After Marco was baptized and we were listening to Grandma give her talk on the Holy Ghost, Julio and I looked over and saw Marco wipe away a little tear. It was so precious. After the baptism, we served refreshments-donuts, crackers and cheese and fruit-Marco’s choice and very popular with the guests! But, since there was another baptism scheduled, we felt kind of rushed out of there and didn’t get much of a chance to visit with everyone. We did go outside and got some family pictures. It was a wonderful day and we’re so grateful to have such a good boy who chose to be baptized.
I need to get the pictures of the whole family from Tami and Dan! They used the timer on their camera, so we didn’t get any of those.
