a legacy of Faith...





What a wonderful day it has been! I am so proud of Noah for making the choice to be baptized! Here are some of Noah's thoughts of the baptism:

"The only part that made me really really nervous was when they made me go to the front on the stage and they talked about me."

"When me and Dad went into the bathroom to get to the water my legs felt all jiggly and jelloy."

"I don't feel really different, but I do just a little bit."

I am so grateful for loving parents who taught me the gospel. Grateful for Travis' parents and the example of Faith that they were to him growing up. I am thankful and humbled with the responsibility that Travis and I have of raising our sweet children and teaching the gospel to them. I am so blessed to have a sweet, thoughtful, and tenderhearted son who is beginning his journey back to his Heavenly Fathers presence. I am thankful for a honest, faithful, and worthy husband who was able to baptize and confirm Noah. Grateful for the priesthood that he holds and honors. I KNOW that what happened today was exactly what Heavenly Father wanted Noah to do. I KNOW that Noah's life will be blessed as he keeps himself worthy of the Holy Ghost in his life. I KNOW that because of the blessings of the temple our family will be together forever. Not just on this earth, but for eternity.

What a legacy of faith our family has...

What a wonderful day!!
