Great Times

My parents were able to come for a visit during Easter and then the boys and I traveled back with them to MN. The boys' highlights were learning archery skills with Papa, school with their cousins, playing with Uncle Scott, bowling, celebrating Ellie's birthday, and lots of just plain fun. My highlights were shopping with my mom (thanks to Papa), seeing my brother and his wife, and the great times with my sister. I have such a wonderful family and am so blessed to be able to share such happy memories.

Micah's Big Step

This past Sunday Micah had the opportunity to follow the Lord in Believer's Baptism. As we were talking with him about baptism, Adam tried to help Micah understand what baptism was by explaining that it is a picture like when he would color a picture of a house. Baptism was a picture of how Jesus died for us and rose again to give us eternal life. A little later we asked him to again explain what baptism was, he said, "it is a picture...of a house!" He then realized what he had said and explained it back to us with a truer definition that sounded a bit more Biblical. :)

It was a great joy to our hearts to have the chance to hear Micah clearly express to our deacons that he understood what Jesus had done for him in forgiving him of his sins and saving him. He did a great job, even though at first he got a bit shy when he sat there in front of our men and Adam. It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but he came through with shining colors. Here are some shots of Adam and Micah in our baptismal. It was our church's first baptismal in our new facility, so he thought that was pretty special too.
