Hyrum's Baptism

Hy made it to that magic number 8! That means he's old enough to be baptized. We had a special FHE and invited the sister missionaries to teach Hy about baptism. Here are Sister Mary Howell and Sister Nieto.

Hyrum was baptized the 25th of October at the Raft River Church by his dad. His buddies, Thomas Harper and Trevor Bankhead were baptized with him. He had tons of people there to support him: Poppa Bernie & Gma Vicki, Grand Johnson's, Gr-gma Spencer & A. Vickie, Gr-gma Turner & Ken, Gr-Grand Morgans, Aunt Amber, Uncle Justin, Eldon; Mrs. Richins & husband, Bishop Hall & family; Yavruians, Johnsons, Pickerings, A. Janeen; Pulsiphers; Sis. Stacy Holtman and more that I have forgotten! Poppa Bernie & Poppa Jeff were the witnesses. G-mummsie gave a talk.

I had asked Hyrum if he wanted a suit. He said, "Yes;" Evan said, "No." Then I found one at DI for $10. Yeah, that was awesome. He got a lot of handsome new ties, too!

On the way home from the baptism, I asked him how he felt. He said, "I just feel really good!" It was a special day!
