'Today is a very special day for you.' That what we have been telling Preston. He turned eight last month and the stake baptism date is scheduled on 2/5. However, we had stake conference that day, so Preston's baptism changes to 2/12 which is today Saturday. Time does fly and when he was borned in South Carolina. I was asking myself when he would turn eight. Now he is eight, he starts the boy scout program. It seems a new chapter of my life. It is an interesting thought for me. Anyway, he is so excited about his baptism and I am sure that he is longed to be a member of the church. We had talked about the ordinances of the baptism and helped him to understand why he needed to get baptized. We did our own baptism program since he was the only one get baptized this month. We had Brother Russ Shurtz to do the baptism talk, and Brother Ebert to do the gift of the holy ghost. Both gave a wonderful talk. And Preston did his own musical. He played the hymn 'He sent his son' and the 'Baptism'.
