We received a phone call the first part of August from my nephew Benjamin. He told us that they were coming to Idaho and if his Uncle Joe would baptize him!! Joe was so excited to receive this honor. He feels pretty close to his nephews and nieces, and this would be his FIRST baptism.
So the Ohio Hebdon's headed their way to Idaho and the rest of our family made plans to spend a few days with them. The Bare's invited them to go to Bear Lake with them...
The order goes: Caleb, Alyssa, Aimee, Benjamin, Adam, Jenna, and Jared. Due to the sudden plans to come visit us in Idaho, Jake and Beth had other priorities that they had to be at. We sure did miss them!!
August 18th was the date of the baptism. It turned out to be an incredible event, the Spirit was so strong there with the talks and testimonies shared. And Benjamin has been such a wonderful young man and an example to us all. We were excited to be able to share this day with him.
It was a short but sweet visit. The last time that we have all been together was our wedding. We always look forward to seeing them, and can't help but wish that we all lived closer. I am so grateful for my family, for the unique closeness that we have together. My husband, parents, brothers and sisters are the best friends that I could ever ask for. Through all of the ups and downs of our lives, our family has always been there to provide strength, love, and happiness. I love you all!!
