Victor's big day.

We have been waiting for Victor's baptism for a long time now and it turned out really great. We were a little frustrated with the way they deal with baptisms in our Stake since we were told we had no saying in the entire program and we could not pick the date. We were told it was gonna happen April 10th and that we would have to share it with all the other kids that were going to get baptized that month. We were lucky to only have one more little girl on the same day.
Victor had been taking the discussion with the Sister Missionaries and he has been having lots of fun preparing for them and learning through out the entire process.
He was also excited to have his two grandmas here and to make special memories with them. His grandma Brown gave him a special baptism present, a Hymn Book that matches his scriptures.
I will never forget the happy face of Victor on Saturday morning when he came out with his white outfit ready to get baptized. Just like Shayna he was baptized by his Dad and that is a very important thing for me, it means the world to me that they have their Dad to do that for them. Uncle Steven gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and did a great job too. He also was the one confirming Victor a member of the church and to give him the Gift of the Holy Ghost, that to me was the most spiritual experience so far. I was able to feel the presence of my Dad right there with me and the Spirit could be felt so strongly. I am for ever grateful of the choices Victor is making at such an early age, for the knowledge he has so far and the willingness to do what is right. He is a special child of God and such a strong spirit. I know he is going to be a great missionary some day, I will do my best to keep teaching him and to support him in all that he wants to do. He is a great inspiration to me and a great example also, he might not know that but he sure is.
Today was also really nice during sacrament meeting, I got up there to share my testimony in front of everybody, something that does not happen very often but I really needed to do and when I got back Shayna told me she felt that she needed to go up there too, she sat on my lap for a few minutes to get the courage and then she walked very fast and said a very simple but special testimony. You could tell she was also so proud of Victor for getting baptized.
It was a great weekend and I am sure that this wonderful feeling will stay with me for ever.
We also did some other fun things but I will post that later, probably before my next visitor arrives :)
