Ethan was baptized on Saturday, April 8th. We are so proud of him and his decision to follow our Savior Jesus Christ! He was really excited to be baptized. Grammie said the opening prayer. We sang I like to Look for Rainbows. Grandpa Buckner and Dillon helped with the music. Grandpa Buckner gave a great talk on baptism. Chad baptized Ethan and Mason and Grandpa Dennis were the witnesses. While Ethan was getting dressed everyone wrote him a note to congratulate him - we are going to put those in his journal. Brian and Brandt's families also joined in on zoom. Then Cara gave a great talk on the Holy Ghost and all the gifts/blessings that come from having it as our constant companion. Chad confirmed Ethan. Then Dillon gave the closing prayer. It was a beautiful baptism. Everything went really well and smoothly. After the doors to the font were closed Chad let Ethan swim in the font for a minute. He received a quad with his name on it from Grandma and Grandpa Buckner, a journal and scripture case from mom and dad, stuffed animals and gummy bears from grammie and Grandpa dennis and a paper about the 3 "bears" of baptism - you promise to bear your testimony, bear others burdens, and bear Christ's name. He also got a candy poster letter from Mom and Dad. We started this as a tradition when Mason was baptized and Ethan has been looking forward to that for years. :)
After Ethan was baptized he said it was the best day of his life and he felt very good.
