Baptism Day for Jantzen

Saturday, July 10, 2010 was a wonderful day for Jantzen. Aaron was able to baptize and confirm him a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jantzen has been preparing for this important step and was happy to complete a special goal of reading the Book of Mormon (as a family). We finished Moroni 10 the night before his baptism.
We enjoyed visiting with those family members able to gather for Jantzen's special day. And a big thanks to the cousins for helping sing the special musical number, "When I Am Baptized". We shared brunch together following the services and the food/weather/company were terrific.
Jantzen has the most awesome grandparents around! Thanks to all for a great day!

That is so awesome! I wish I could have come up, but I thought it better to stay home and keep my germs to myself.

It was a wonderful day! We all enjoyed being together and celebrating Elsie's birthday and Jantzen's baptism. I'm thankful for the delightful weather, company, food and occasion.
