Dallin's Baptism

Last Saturday was the big and exciting time for Dallin. We drove to the church with all the family in tow.


On our way to the church

Dallin and Dan got ready. As you can see, there they are, wearing the white jumpsuits.


First was the devotional in the chapel, before the individual baptisms. There were two other kids from the Stake that were getting baptized that day, as well. So there were quite a few people there.

I gave the talk on Baptism, then some of the kids in the audience got up and sang for us. Then another mother gave a talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

After that, each child being baptized, along with their family and friends, went to the room with the baptismal font, for the ordinance.


Outside, in the freezing cold, after the baptism
Dallin was the last one, so we waited quietly in the chapel until it was his turn. He told me beforehand that he was a little nervous about going all the way under the water, but very excited to become an official member of the church.

Well he did just fine. And Dan only had to "dunk" him once. lol

Then after the boys went to get dry and change into their church clothes again, Dan's dad performed the ordinance of confirming Dallin a member of the church and giving him the gift of the Holy Ghost. Dallin was happy that Grandpa was the one to give him that gift.

After it was all over, all the family went to Red Robin for dinner (Dallin's choice).

It was a wonderful ceremony. I am so proud of Dallin, and his decision. My baby is definitely not a baby anymore.
