Xander's Big Day

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5

Xander has been preparing himself for the past eight years to participate in the sacred ordinance of baptism and this past Sunday he entered into a covenant with his Heavenly Father as he entered the waters of baptism. What a special day for our Xander! We are so proud of him for making this wonderful decision.

We were so blessed to have family there to support him on his big day. Both sets of grandparents came as well as the Clarks.

So many members from our ward came as well, filling the room, leaving no empty seats. The talks given by Xander's Grandpa Schaeffer and his primary teacher Deb Coleman were wonderful and when his cousins sang their special musical number everyone was touched. David's blessing to Xander to receive the Holy Ghost was powerful and I hope that Xander remembers the words of that beautiful prayer and stays close to the Lord all his life.  What a wonderful day!
