With Evan turning eight at the beginning of the month, he was old enough and very much looking forward to getting baptized. We talked to him and decided that it would be good to wait until the end of the month for the baptism so that Janelle and Scott could come to both his baptism and Megan's musical. He thought that was a great idea.
The baptism was held on Sunday, April 1 at 10 am. This allowed people to come to the baptism and still attend General Conference at noon. We had a nice turn out in spite of the fact that most people watch conference at home and weren't at the church already. Daddy baptized and confirmed Evan a member of the church, Janelle and Scott both gave talks, and Megan and Nathan gave the prayers. It was a very nice day to be together for such an important reason and such a great young man. Good job, Evan.
