Coopers baptism

Cooper got baptized. We are so happy for him.  We were lucky to have grandma and grandpa from Utah fly in to Indiana for the special day. He had both sets of grandparents there for him as well as many more friends and family.he chose both grandpas to give talks for him. Grandpa in Utah spoke on the Holy Ghost and grandpa and Kendallville spoke on baptism. He he asked that his brothers and sisters saying I am a child of God. We practice at home a little bit but I was unsure how confident they would be. Jaxton Kaylee and Dustin sing beautifully I am a child of God upfront. It was incredibly sweet. Cooper is such a sweet boy, so thoughtful and good. His heart is full of love for others. He was so ready to be baptized and so excited for this debt. He just grinned the whole time at special smile that emanates joy to everyone who sees him.

After the baptism we came home for a special dinner with the family and some friends. We were able to celebrate Cooper with the special people in his life. He received a special Crystal Jewel that when hung in the sun light would shine rainbows all around. It is supposed to remind him of the example he can be of Jesus Christ and that he can show that example to all of the world where ever he goes. He also received his own set of Scriptures, acquired that buttons on the front. He was so excited to begin marking scriptures that meant something to him. On Sunday he was excited to read from his very own set of scriptures the story of Nephi and Laban.

I am so proud of him and so grateful for his sweetness. He is a spiritual boy with a big heart and I know that his baptism means a lot to him. He can bring the spirit into the room where ever he is and he can make others feel good. It is a quality and skill that he has.with the gift of the Holy Ghost that skill will just be magnified. Happy baptism day Cooper!
