Adam's Choice To Follow Christ's Example

 Adam was Baptized by his Dad today!  What an amazing experience it was to watch our son make covenants with our Father in Heaven.  His first words after coming out of the water were "That's a long way down!".  He also mentioned that the water was hot. 


Adam was baptized with two other children from our stake.  Adam was the second to be baptized.  While he and Dadam were changing we moved into the Relief Society room to allow the third person to be baptized.  As people came into the room they were met by a table with pictures of Adam (from the Temple the day before) and Christ.  A shadow box with Adam's blessing outfit was also on the table along with a coloring book, crayons and gummy bears for the little ones.  The adults were asked to sign a guest list and take a card to write their testimonies and thoughts of the day to Adam for his memory book.  We also had a personal program to go along with the one the stake provided.  Adam colored the front and back pictures for his program!
 Adam was very blessed to have many family and friends travel for his special day.  We also had our a lot of ward family there to support Adam.  I am very grateful for the amazing people that jumped in to watch Alex and Amelia so that I wouldn't miss anything.  Words truly can't express my true gratitude for such a kind act.  The picture of the men standing with Adam are the members of the circle that confirmed Adam a member of the church and gave him the Holy Ghost.  The Bishop isn't in the picture, but he did participate in the circle as well.

 We had a light dinner and cake when the baptism was finished.  We enjoyed catching up with our guests and felt very lucky to have had so many come to enjoy Adam's special day.
*On a side note...we lost Alex's LEGOS that night at the church.  If ANYONE as seen or heard about them...PLEASE let us know.  We would be very grateful!!
