Seth's Baptism

My baby turned 8 and was baptized. I have so many conflicting feelings on this one.

-Excitement to see Seth learn and grow

-Excitement to hear how he felt

-Surreal to know that he's our last getting baptized until grandkids come around

-Joy at seeing so many of our family and friends at the same place at one time

-Sad that not everyone could make it

-Not sure about what the next step is in teaching Seth more about applying his covenants

At his baptism, we had half the Hansen crew... including Aubrey who will be a missionary in a matter of weeks. Grandma and Grandpa Robertson, Emma and Stephen's family, half of Mary and Jeff's family, Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox, Janelle, Seth, half of Sharon and Brad's family, Seth's friend Allyssa Eaton, Brother and Sister Wheelhouse, and the stake and ward primary leaders.

Evelyn led the music, Mary played the piano, Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox were the witnesses at the font, I gave a prayer and Grandpa Robertson gave the closing prayer.

Those in the circle that gave Seth the gift of the Holy Ghost were: Jeremy Robertson, Jim Robertson, Roger Wilcox, Seth Wilcox, Jeff Brasher, Brad Gilchrist, Carl Brown,

Here is what Seth had to say about the day:

I asked him how he felt about the baptism. "The water was so warm and I feel really good." He looked very happy.
