Baptism in the family!



Well, last month, Feb 28, 2009, my niece and nephew (Oldest Brother, Dave's, oldest kids) Brandyn (16 yrs) and Brittney (15 yrs) were baptized. They recently have moved back to Washington from Ohio with their mother, Kathy (age unable to share as she might hurt me). They started coming to church with my folks and Brandyn was almost instantly interested in what needed to be done to pass the sacrament and was asking questions. So, we gave phone numbers to the missionaries and scheduled their first missionary lesson. I think just over a month later, they were baptized. Their missionaires were Elder Blanc and Elder Tenney. They were great missionaries who I know will never be forgotten. Elder Blanc baptized Brittney and Uncle Donny Milam baptized Brandyn. It was a late night. Donny wasn't able to get off of work and didn't get home until 8pm to the airport- so the baptism was scheduled for 9pm!!! yes- that is right! And SOOO many people came to show their love and support. It was great! Amazing and Great! (This is them with their Mom, Kathy.) I am so proud of them and am so excited to see where their lives will lead them in the future. They are great kids! Anyway-Just thought I would post this very memorable event!
