Michael's Baptism


Michael turned on May 16th and we had his baptism yesterday. This is a picture of Michael and his dad before the baptism. Michael asked his Grandma Engar to speak on baptism. She did a wonderful job explaining the baptismal covenants and how we wash away sin by partaking of th sacrament each week. Michael's friend Adam was also baptized and his cousin did a talk on the Holy Ghost and gave both boys present representing the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Such as a blanket to help comfort you, lipbalm to remind you to use appropriate words, a flashlight to guide you, bandaids to help repair mistakes or "ouches" you have made. Michael choose Book oof Mormon Stories as the closing hymn and Grandma Johnson gave a great closing pray. The baptism meet was great and the spirit was strong. We are so proud of Michael and the decisions he is making in his life. WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!
