Baptism


Jaxon got baptized. It was again, one to remember, that is all I will say. And by the photo Gregg looks so happy....Jaxon was excited. Zeke, well he was just 'bubbling over' with excitement and I will just leave things at that.

He was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He is such an amazing example to me. He really has a strong spirit and I hope it stays with him all his life. He is a good boy who tries his best to do just what he is supposed to. I am so proud of him and for the good example he is to me. We are working on finishing the Book of Mormon (we are almost finished), and if you know Jaxon he is just like his dad and has almost a photographic memory. Jaxon implied when we were done that was all we needed to do. I said nope when we are done we read it again then again and again. He said okay so when we read it 4 times we will have everything memorized and we won't need to read it again right? I said well no we need to keep reading it all the time because during different times in our life we learn different lessons when we read it. He thought for a minute and just rescinded his comment. I could see what was going on in his head (just like his dad) 'Yeah Whatever!'. We will see! He is still a great example and I know if I am teaching a lesson for FHE he will have all of the stories memorized to the point he could teach everyone in the family what the story was about and what we learn from it.
