Today Josh was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He has been waiting for this day for a long time! Josh was the 20th baptism in our ward this year and he patiently waited all year for his big day to come. However, Josh started out the day a little rough. He woke up this morning with a temperature of 102.6 and he wasn't quite his jolly ole self all day.
Josh was baptized by his dad.
We are all so proud of Josh.
Almost everyone that was in attendance at Josh's baptism. A couple of people snuck out before we could get a picture. So many people love Josh and support him.
After the baptism we had a luncheon at our house. Grandma and Grandpa Haacke gave Josh a picture of the temple by our house. (You can tell Josh isn't feeling well in this picture and the ones to follow.)
He received a nice gift from his cousin Tre and a nice letter too.
Grandma White made Josh a Cub Scout quilt and gave him a sock monkey. Josh loved both and cuddled with them the rest of the day.
It was a really nice day (other than Josh not feeling well) and we loved being surrounded by our family and friends. We are proud of Josh and his decision to be baptized.
I love the Cub Scout quilt idea--a perfect 8-year old's gift--especially when he's not feeling well and can wrap up in its warmth. Congratulations, Josh!
