It is still hard to believe that Kyler was baptized! He has been looking forward to this for a long time, and we have been talking about it as a family. The other kids were excited for him too. We were blessed to have so much family attend and many that wished they could have come but weren't able to make it. We had all the Keys family that lives in Childress as well as Oma, Papa Dude, and Zadi drive in along with The Barney family.
The baptism itself went great! I had talked with Kyler about setting up the program and what assignments he wanted to give. Unfortunately for me, he asked me to give the talk on baptism. Daddy got off easy and only had to perform the baptism and confirmation!! Papa Dude gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and several other family members were able to contribute too. Damon even gave the closing prayer! We weren't sure if he would do it once he saw all the people there, but he did great! There was a special spirit there, and it was an amazing experience.
We had a few muffins and orange juice once it was over, but we had to rush through everything because Kyler and Damon had a basketball game that all of the family was able to go to. We had a great weekend and felt incredibly blessed.

| This is the invitation that we sent out to friends and family, but Kyler also wanted to pass them out to friends and teachers at school. I asked him how many he wanted, and he said he wanted 30 or 40 of them. I thought there was no way he would actually need that many. However he shocked me. If I would have given him 30 I have no doubt he would have given all of them out. He was so excited about getting baptized, and he wanted everyone to know about it and come! |
