Bee is for Baptism

February 28, 2015

Cody was baptized a member of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

 It was so fun to have friends from the ward baptized on the same day.

Abbie, Cody, Tanner, and Weston.

Bee is for Baptism:

  Cody had baseball practice that morning before his baptism (he was quite the celebrity with his dad, sisters, aunts, cousins, grandmas and grandpas watching) and while he was in the field a bee stung him on his neck!

 One of the sisters of each family sang "When I Am Baptized" at the baptism. Macey was the youngest by far, but she did a great job singing! 

 The first line says "I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain."

I didn't catch any pictures of rainbows that day, but there was rain earlier, and some cool clouds when we came out.

A little of Cody's baptism water was straight from the River Jordan!

Cody's Grandpa Jeff spoke on baptism. He brought some special water - water from the River Jordan from their recent trip to Israel and the same river Jesus was baptized in - and he put it in the font.

  

I asked Cody what his favorite parts of the day were and he told me they were getting baptized and getting the blessing to get the gift of the holy ghost.

 We went to Panera Bread after to celebrate:

We are so grateful for our amazing family who came to be with Cody on such a big milestone in his life and we are thankful for your support!

He's on the path and headed up!
