Since Matthew turned 8 so soon before we moved, we got special permission to have him baptized in Utah at the end of June so we could do it with family and friends. It was such a beautiful, special day! We were super proud of his decision to be baptized and he was the most handsome little eight year old. Just look at that face!
All dressed in white and ready to go!
Mom and Dad were in town, and we had Grandma Willes, Bree and Heather's family, along with Jose and Julia and Annalece and the girls (Javi was on a work trip). Jana and her family were there also, as well as different ward leaders. We lucked out getting to have our own family service once again! Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) gave wonderful talks, David performed the baptism and confirmation, the kids all sang "When I am Baptized," and I think I bore my testimony towards the end.
Because it was just us, we had plenty of time for lots of family pics!
The Pilkingtons are the closest thing we had to family there in Springville!
