Baptism Day 

It is official Jensen is now accountable.   Jensen’s baptism went very well.  He was so excited and couldn’t wait.  I don’t know what was more exciting for him turning 8 or getting baptized.  Jensen played the piano for part of the program, he was so proud of himself, he strutted up to the piano and he played very well.  Jensen gave a talk last Sunday in primary he gave it about his baptism.  Here is the talk: 

 “Friday at school I told my friends I was going to be late for a birthday party on Saturday because I was getting baptized.  They started to tease me and say that baptism has no purpose and that I shouldn’t do it.  One of them said, “It’s just a weird Mormon thing.”  I said, “Why would you make fun of something you don’t even know very much about?  Why would I do something if it had no purpose?”  They think I’m weird for being a Mormon but I don’t care.   I’m glad that I made the choice to get baptized even though I got teased

Yesterday I was able to get baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  I am glad that my family and primary leaders were there.  It felt good to have all my sins washed away.  I am glad that I got the gift of the Holy Ghost so that it can be a light and a comforter for me.”

We are so proud of him!
