Heath has been so excited to get baptized! I wanted to make sure we had pictures, well I
was rushing around with the details.
Heath said “I bet in Book of Mormon times it was way easier to just get
baptized”. I asked, “what do you mean?
they still needed the priesthood” etc. he said “I guess but once they knew they
wanted to be like Jesus the just could get baptized.”

It hit me that I was worried about the
memories and he was thinking about the commitment he was making. You know what it really is that simple. We appreciated all the people who came to share that special day with him. I have to say that it was an individual choice for Heath and he made it.
I have noticed a change in him, he seems to be more confident and I
think he feels empowered, that it is up to him no one is making him. He is choosing and I’m so grateful he is
choosing the right! On his baptism day
it hit me even more that he is on his own and so capable, with Dad there, he
didn’t need me. It only took the 2 of
them 2 dunks. J
I keep thinking about How the Grinch stole Christmas Maybe Baptism is a little bit more than all the details. He loved his video, cake, and his comforter from Grandma. He loves being on Jesus' team more.
Mary & Jeff were in a car accident the day of Heath’s
baptism. They are trying to save Mary’s
arm, Heath did his first real fast for the WHOLE day for Grandma Mary it was
awesome. He recognizes that what he does
matters and it made a difference. He has
always been determined but now living with purpose he is unstoppable... back to more Dr. Seuss "Oh the places he'll go!
