Ethans Baptism

Ethans baptism was wonderful and unique.  It is amazing how each service is different.  Carissa gave one of the talks and was nervous but did a great job.  Also, Davin and Mary were able to be there so his Uncle Davin talked on the gift of the Holy Ghost. 
The spirit was so strong and Ethan was also very touched.  He can be so playful and fun loving but he also has such a sensitive spirit and ability to understand gospel principles quickly.  I have been his primary teacher for the past few months and have noticed more how quickly he is able to understand what the scriptures teach us.

One of the counselors in the primary presidency told me how touched she was during the service as was I.  When she conducted primary the next day and had him come to the front to recognize him, all three of us were teary eyed as Ethan shared his feelings about the day.  I couldn't have been a prouder mom and as cheesy as it may sound, it was such a special, tender day.
