Crew was baptized on April 18th by his Dad. It was a very special day for him. He had lot's of family come and was very supported by all the people that love him.
We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We have also been known as LDS or Mormons. We believe that when a person is 8 years old or older, he or she is responsible to make their own choices. We believe in baptism by immersion in water. The baptism is performed by someone who has the authority or priesthood power of God. We believe that baptism is an ordinance that helps us along the path to receive eternal salvation. We believe that the Savior was baptized while he was on the earth as an example to us, which we should follow, and be baptized ourselves, and then receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
I know that because I have been baptized and have the Gift of the Holy Ghost, I have been blessed throughout my life. I remember being baptized in the creek by my house when I was 8 years old by my Father. I hope Crew can always remember the feelings he had that day, and that he will remember the covanents and promises he made to Heavenly Father. I know that baptism by immersion is a commandment, and if we follow it, we are blessed. I know that following Heavenly Father's commandments makes us happy. I know that we can become eternal families when we obtain the ordinances we are commanded to. I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life. I am grateful for the joy and peace that it gives me. For the comfort, warnings, promptings, and truth that the Holy Ghost testifies of to me. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father's plan includes families. I love my family so very much! I am so blessed in this life and I know that my Heavenly Father loves me.
Crew's baptism was a wonderful time for me to be reminded of the blessings of baptism and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a wonderful time to be with family. And I may be a little biased, but I think these are two of the most handsome guys in the world!
