Look at that handsome, confident kid. I have a seriously good boy in Jordan. He was baptized and confirmed yesterday, and I couldn't be more proud of him.
The whole meeting was very sweet and filled with the spirit. Jordan summed up the whole experience in his journal by saying "This was the best day ever."
We told Jordan he could choose anywhere he wanted to go for dinner, so naturally he chose Subway. Hmm...I kind of thought a restaurant would be better. We were able to talk him up to Denny's because of their pancakes, and I figured that was the best he'd agree on. While there, we presented him with a beautiful set of green scriptures. He has been anxiously pouring through them today. So cute.
I have baptized somewhere around 30 people, but yesterday was just completely different. Almost surreal. I was nervous, excited, worried, surprised that he could already be eight, etc. While getting changed into our white baptismal clothes, I just kept thinking about how small Jordan used to be.
It was one of those times were you
realize how far your kids have come and how many people shape them into
who they are. So to all of you out there that have helped Jordan become
the awesome kid he is today, thank you.
What great posts on Jordan. I CANNOT believe he is old enough to be baptized. Sureal indeed. So proud that you were able to baptize him as well. I know many fathers who are not at that point in their life to do that for their sons - I am sure they will regret it someday.
