Ben's Baptism

I just downloaded pictures from my camera for the last while, and it appears I haven't done it since June 5th. Wow!

On June 13th, Benjamin was Baptized by his dad. It was a neat experience. Since our building is under construction (they are adding on to it, as we have had a lot of growth in our ward over the past two years), we had to find another location for the Ward Primary Baptisms. One of the boys who was being Baptized happens to live on a farm, and they have a swimming pool in the back yard. Their parents offered to host the event for the three boys being Baptized that day.

The weather was perfect, as you can see. Luckily, it was warm for part of June. If it had been scheduled for this month, we wouldn't have been so lucky (so much for global warming). It was in the mid-80s, and sunny. The pool was a little cool, as the weather hadn't been very warm for the prior week, but Ben didn't seem to mind.

Ben is a very sweet boy, with a good understanding of the gospel. I am so proud of Ben for the decision he made to follow Christ's example and be Baptized into His Church!
