Can you even believe that My little boy is 8? Crazy right. Pierce has been so excited for his baptism. He talked about it all the time and was so happy. He was excited for family to come, for his new scriptures, that our primary gave him a personalized hymn book, and for his dad to be the one to baptize him.
We were so happy that we got to have so much family come and celebrate this special day with us. We had Grammy and Papa Russ, Gramsie and Brown Papa, Aunt Ninny, Mia, Jase, Tyden, Hadlee, Aunt Dee, and Uncle Cory.
Pierce's baptism was with one other girl Desi Luna. It was very special and intimate. Our program was:
Opening Prayer: Diane Belliston
Opening Song: When I am Baptized
Talk on Baptism: Kari Barker
Musical Number: Cory Bellliston, My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Talk on Holy Ghost: Brent Belliston
Closing Song: Teach me to Walk in the Light
Closing Prayer: Russ Barker
I was so proud of Pierce's decision to be baptized. This was a decision that he made all on his own. I love the example that he has set for others and especially his siblings. It was really special to see all the little children gathered around the font watching him being baptized. There was a very special spirit that day. Way to go Pierce, We love you.
