I can't wait until I'm 8

"Where is that place that you need a lap-top? Oh yeah, college. So when I am at college...." This is just a simple portrayal of the great things that Trapper comes up with. Man, does he pay attention!! Last night our ward had a Baptism Fireside that I highly recommend. They started it last year. It's for all the kids (only 3 in our ward!) that will be baptised that year. They go through all the steps they will have to take and get them familiar with the font, how they hold them etc. Last night they asked the kids why they would need to go into the water again if they didn't get fully submerged. Trapper said, "because all your sins wouldn't have been washed away!" They told him "no." The answer they said was correct was that he didn't get fully wet! I thought Trapper's answer was much deeper in thought than theirs, thank you very much! He paid attention like he was going to be quizzed at the end. It was adorable. Here, we can set any day after their 8Th b-day to baptise them! I am so excited! His birthday is April 4Th. So we could even do it on his birthday if he wanted to. I think that is pretty neat. Most wards/stakes have a set night, but I think this place is small enough that they can do it this way.

That was one thing we liked about the ward in Panguitch, too. We got to choose what day to baptize Melanie. I think the Baptism Fireside is a great idea. Much better than the Pantyhose Brigade.
