Matthew's Baptism

We were so blessed to have Matthew Baptized on Saturday November 1st. It was such a special day. Dave got to baptize and confirm him. Matthew is such an awesome boy. He has been looking forward to this day forever! We looked up about 6 months ago the day he would be baptized and he would go around and tell everyone for months "I'm getting baptized on Nov 1st". He was just so excited and full of enthusiasm that day. He even had to get "dunked" (as Matthew put it) twice and didn't mind a bit! I am so proud of him and the good decisions that he makes. He is such a good boy! We are so lucky to have him in our family. He is a good example to all of us. I also love days like this, baptisms, baby blessings etc. cause I know for sure my Mom is there. It is awesome to think of her being there and to try to feel her spirit around me. I know she would have been so proud of him. I'm just so thankful for the gospel and thankful that my sweet little boy has a testimony too. He tried to bear his testimony on Sunday. It was really sweet but funny. He got a new set of scriptures for his baptism and he went up and tried to read a scripture to the congregation. Dave had to go up and rescue him. But it was still really cute! And he did a great testimony as well.
