Jonah's baptism - January 10, 2009

Glad we were able to travel to Tucson with Tyler and Heather, where

we participated in Jonah's baptism.  He was the only baptism in the stake, so Bishop Carter

had Heather give the opening prayer and Tyler the closing.  Grandpa Ron

and Grandpa Ashby were the witnesses.

Kristin is the primary president in the Butterfield Ward and welcomed

Jonah as the newest member of the ward.  She taught us about the purpose

of Primary:  Teach the gospel to the children and help them live it.  

She shared her favorite scripture from D & C 50: 40 - 42

BJ blessed Jonah to follow the example of the Savior, to hunger and thirst

after good things, to love others and continue to move forward on the gospel path. 

Many other things were promised to Jonah as he listens to the Holy Ghost

What a joy as grandparents to have such amazing grandkids who

continue to be good examples as they make correct choices.  

This is just the first of many baptisms in our family and

we will celebrate down the road as everyone gets their turn.
