The morning started out really nice, Gavin and I were up cutting fruit when Landon walked in the kitchen. This gave Gavin and I some time to talk to him about the special day in his life. We read a book together that I had bought him called White Shirts and then he opened up his baptism towel. He was beaming and really excited to get to the church. The service was really nice, Gavin did a great job on the Baptism, and said just the right things in Landon's Conformation. It was a day I hope Landon doesn't forget. Because like Julie Beck said in the Visiting Teaching Lesson last month: “When we are baptized, we take upon ourselves the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Taking upon us His name is one of the most significant experiences we have in life …"
This hit me hard when I read it. I know I need to me a better example of Christ and with that I hope Landon can be good example too.
After we were done at the church we headed back to our house for some treats. It was the first time I didn't stress out completely over the food, and forget what the day was really about. It made my day so much better, besides who doesn't like fruit and lots of baked treats for lunch? Preston had thought he had died and went to heaven! ;o)
Thank you to everyone for supporting Landon on this special day. I love him so much, and am so proud of his decision to be baptized.

Baptism is the first step to understanding the true purpose of this life on earth.
