Parker was baptized today. He said he felt different today after his baptism - really different. He mentioned several times the warm feeling he was having again. He can't really put into words how
he is feeling different but I think it is the Holy Ghost. I hope I can help him feel it more as the days go on. I hope I can help him hold on to that warm loving feeling that he experienced so strongly today.
Parker, You were baptized today with a girl named Ava Smith and another girl named Kathleen Paz. Ava is the daughter of a girl (Alicia Hansen Smith) from my stake growing up - the Gilmer Texas Stake. Her grandparents are from Quitman and are good friends of Grammy and Grandpa. They were surprised and excited to see each other!
The stake president said all three of you were very well prepared for baptism and answered all of his questions exceptionally well. You got to go first with everything because they did things alphabetically by ward name and we are in the Bonds Ranch Ward. They read your biography first and you got to be baptized first. It was a really sweet baptism day. The group in attendance wasn't too big and the spirit was strong there. Kathleen had to get baptized 3 times because her toe or knee kept popping up. You were probably getting dressed when that was happening. The stake president asked me to share my testimony after the baptism and before the closing prayer. All the moms got to share their testimonies today. After all of that was done, they had the different families separate for the confirmation. We stayed in the chapel while Daddy confirmed you a member of the church and gave you the gift of the Holy Ghost.
You looked so handsome in your new suit and tie. Daddy and Caden had matching ties as well. We took pictures outside when it was all finished and then went to eat with your grandparents at Pasados for yummy Mexican food.
