I had talked to Shawn a month or so ago and asked him when he was going to let Connor get baptized. He had told me that he wanted Connor to know for certain what would be happening to him and the commitments he was making. We both agreed that Connor has his place in heaven already and really didn't need to get baptized and might not ever really understand. I remember telling Shawn that by being baptized it would open more doors and opportunities for Connor whether he needed them or not and how he is a blessing to all of us. When I drove home after our little visit I remember thinking that I should text Shawn and let him know what a great dad he is. (I should have pulled over and did it because I forgot to actually sent a text to Shawn) I do plan on giving Shawn a card though on Sunday when Connor gets confirmed. Shawn is so patient and kind to his son. He's also very honest with us and has told us that they both get on each others nerves at times.
I had called Connor earlier in the day to talk to him because I knew it was going to be busy that night at the baptism. I told Connor that he was going to have a warm feeling in his heart and know that he had chosen right. He really listened to that because on Thursday at SNAP he bore his testimony at our Testimony Meeting and mentioned that. What a sweet, innocent, tender, loving soul Connor is.
After the baptism we headed over to Bob and Vicky Fowers where they were having a going away party for Sister Frazier who was transferred to the Hyrum, North area. She will be blessed and so will those she comes in contact with. She will also be missed by us!
