Austin's baptism





Austin was baptized on 7/2/10. He is now a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints. He was so excited to be baptized and especially because his daddy did the baptism and he was able to receive the Holy Ghost. He felt that it was very important to have that so that he can get help when he needs it to make the right decisions. He got up in church and bore his testimony this past sunday, he read his journal entry about his baptism memories, I of course cried. It is a wonderful feeling to walk in your child's room to tuck him in and see that he is saying his prayers. Its a good feeling when you struggle each day to know whether you are doing a good job, & then you see that and think, I am doing something ok. He is praying, not after I ask him, but on his own he is talking God and is gaining his own relationship with him. I did fail to get him a set of scriptures for the baptism as it snuck up on me, however he enjoys going to check some out of the library each church day! He got a new tie and a CTR( chose the right) bracelet. He didn't even complain about going to church this past week!( that's been a ongoing struggle)
