We were invited to attend Jeffery's baptism the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Baptisms are always wonderful to attend. I feel uplifted and renewed at every one I attend. I enjoyed the speakers and particularly one analogy I'd never heard before. A Bishop compared the Gift of the Holy Ghost to a full soda can. When a soda can is full it is very hard to crush, but when it is empty the can crushes easily. It is the same with us. When we are striving to follow Heavenly Father's commandments we will be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost. We will be strong and able to withstand many "crushings" caused by sin and temptation. Thank you Jeffery for your example by being baptized and for inviting us to be there.
Sariah hosted a yummy brunch and egg hunt afterward. I had prepped Nathan for the fun hunt throughout the morning. I had promised him he'd find a treat inside an egg only if he would be quiet during the baptism...I had forgotten that Sariah's boys have committed to forgo candy so I held my breath when Nathan discovered money instead of candy inside his eggs. He was so excited about finding the money that he never once asked where the candy was! After tithing was paid, he was still happy to have lots of coins to put inside his froggy bank. Again, thanks to Sariah & family for a Great day with lots of teaching opportunities!
