Yesterday Jacinda was baptized. I am so pleased with her decision. She truly loves Jesus and wants to be
good. My other kids are trying to be
good also. However, they are still
young. In the beginning of the baptism,
as brother Brinkeroff was conducting and reading the program, McCabe turns to
me and says, “can we go now? I am bored.”
I laughed and told him that this is a special day and we are here to watch
Jacinda get baptized. He then was quiet
because he realized there was no way I was leaving.
Xadia
had the opportunity to give the opening prayer.
I went to the front of the room to assist her. I knelt down to be at her ear level; however,
she decided to kneel also. I then proceeded
to whisper in her ear and she started to whisper also. She was following my example. I thought it was really cute but most
importantly I was happy she had the faith and courage to give a prayer in front
of so many people. When it was time for
Jacinda to be baptized, Xadia was not quiet at all. The moment she came out of the water, Xadia
yells, “that was awesome dad.” Sure….now
she is loud.
Christmas
was fantastic. We spent it in California
with family. The kids were in
heaven. Every day they got to play with their
cousins. There was so much to do. We got to see the lights at the Mission Inn,
go hiking on Mt. Rubidoux, and see the rose parade. It was warm and very lovely. Meanwhile in Utah it was dumping snow. On the way home somewhere near Cedar City the
temperature was 15 below zero. Getting
out for gas was painfully cold. Every
time I got in the car I felt like my knee caps were going to pop off….thank
goodness for heaters.
