Baptism Preview

Justice had his baptism preview today. The stake puts on a program to hopefully ease the anxiety of these 8 year olds to be, and shows them exactly what will happen. They showed the kids the font they will be baptised in, and let them all walk down into it. It did not have water in it at the time. They could see the line where it would be filled up to and could determine from that how high it would go to on them. They had someone show them with an older child exactly how they would hold their hands and showed them how they would be laid back into the water. Then they went back into the dressing room and saw the closet full of white clothes that they can choose from. It was very touching to see these wide eyed sweeties so curious and anxious to take this next step in our church. I tried to make sure that Justice had all of his questions answered. I want him to know that this is his choice to be baptised. He wants to do it and is excited. Once he turns 8 he can also start Scouts- which he is super excited about. His birthday is not until Nov. so we have a lot of waiting to do-which Justice is not very good at! Montana was very cute about telling him how it was when she was baptised. She had a giant smile on her face. They would explain something and then she would look at him as if to say "It's going to be so awesome, you will love it!" Justice asked me what it feels like after you are baptised. I told him that it makes you feel very happy. You will have done a really important thing that Heavenly Father wants you to do. I'm so proud of my kids!
