Logan's Big Day!

It was Logan's baptism day!  We've been preparing for this day for months.  We've been planning and trying to set the date for weeks.  Finally it came, Saturday, August 11, 2012!

We had the missionaries (Sister Anderson & Sister Young) come and teach Logan the discussions.  The kids loved it.  They loved having the missionaries come just for them.  The sisters were great about teaching at Logan and Taylor's level.  

One time they were talking about agency.  They said, "Taylor, when your mom asks you to do something, you have a choice.  You can obey or...?"  

"Go to my room."  Taylor finished.  

Logan got his very own set of scriptures, thanks to his Grandma & Grandpa.  He loves them and loves reading them.  He also got a book about baptism from Nana & Papa.  So we spent some time before the baptism as a family, just sitting quietly, reading the book on baptism and about Jesus' baptism in the scriptures.

Logan was so excited to be baptized.  He told me that being baptized was more exciting and important than any birthday.

The big moment finally arrived.  We went up to the church to make sure everything was ready, you know, like water in the font and baptismal clothing for Logan.  We forgot a few things, like our camera and had to go back to the house a couple of times, so it felt a little hectic for a bit.  But it all worked out well in the end. 

Look at how sweet Logan looks in this picture.  

 So precious!

He was a little nervous, fear of the unknown, you know.  Just minutes before the baptism started, Logan looked up at me and said, "my nervous just turned to scared!"  We each said a quick prayer to feel better and we were good to go.  

I asked Logan how he felt after he was baptized and he said, "Awesome!!!"  And Taylor turned to me and said, "I want to be baptized too!"

His baptism was awesome.  Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who loves and supports Logan.  We really appreciate you all.
